Course structure

Course Units

The course consists of eLearning and a workshop and post workshop QLAB practice.

The pre-workshop learning is approximately 25 hours and is accessed on a web-browser. It covers the basic theory and 10 real pathology cases for interpretation practice.
The 3-hour workshop is in small groups (up to 5 per instructor) and consists of 90 minutes hands-on image acquisition using a Philips Epiq system and 90 minutes of hands-on manipulation of 3D data sets using Philips QLAB with a laptop.
For four weeks after the workshop, private QLAB practice is available to complete 10 case studies (measurements) guided by the learning portal.
