Participants gain hands-on technical proficiency in using DICOM image-review techniques to examine scans independently, while learning to incorporate critical diagnostic caveats into clinical decision-making to accurately address challenging cases. To fully participate, attendees must bring a laptop or tablet to review cases and submit their diagnoses during the workshop. Smartphones cannot be used to view cases during the sessions.
