Inside this resource
ARRS Basic Chest Imaging: Fundamental Patterns
Module 1 opens with J. Czum’s systematic approach to atelectasis on chest radiographs and CT — distinguishing the patterns that matter clinically. R. Madan covers imaging of infections in immunocompromised hosts, a topic that demands both pattern recognition and clinical context. J. Ko then tackles pulmonary nodule management, addressing solid nodule characterization and the evolving concepts around adenocarcinoma and subsolid nodules.
Nodules, Airways, and Vascular Imaging
Module 2 shifts to broader pattern analysis. D. Manos reviews the nodular pattern on chest CT, building a differential framework for the radiologist. L. Haramati delivers a particularly practical session on pulmonary embolism — going beyond simple filling defects to cover technique, common pitfalls, misdiagnosis, and the growing concern of overdiagnosis. M. Hammer rounds out the course with imaging of airways disease.
Who this serves
- Radiology residents — building foundational chest imaging competency during training
