Chest CT Interpretation Curriculum
We hope you find this chest CT interpretation curriculum useful. It includes a series of educational videos that outline a structured approach to chest CT interpretation, based on the anatomy of the secondary pulmonary lobule. We recommend that you review the first two videos ("Anatomy of the Secondary Lobule " and "Systematic Approach to Chest CT Interpretation") first, as they provide the basis for the approach used in the following videos.
The cases (example chest CTs) can be viewed before, after, or in-between watching the educational videos. We recommend that you view the case CT videos, interpret the findings for yourself and develop a differential diagnosis. Do not view the answer key for the case, until you are ready to check your interpretation.
Once you've completed as much of the curriculum as you think you are going to, please complete this brief evaluation survey to help us understand how the curriculum is helpful and how it can be improved.
Have fun!
