Spine Imaging Course 2026

The Spine Imaging Course 2026 is a two-day live online event run by Infomed Ltd, designed for consultant general radiologists and senior specialty trainees who want a practical, comprehensive update on advanced interpretation and reporting practice in spinal imaging. The course features over a hundred interactive MSK and neuro cases delivered via a cloud-based DICOM viewer (PostDICOM), with specialist faculty including consultant musculoskeletal radiologists, neuroradiologists, and spinal surgeons from leading UK hospitals.

The course combines short interactive presentations with case-based learning, allowing delegates to view and manipulate DICOM images on their own screen while receiving immediate feedback and learning points from expert faculty. Topics span thirteen sessions across two days, including degenerative spine, spondyloarthritis and infection, trauma (cervical and thoracolumbar), spinal canal abnormalities, brachial plexus imaging, paediatric spine, spinal tumours, post-operative assessment, surgical procedures and implants, spinal intervention, and spinal pathology in elite sports. A visiting lecturer from New Hampshire joins the UK-based faculty.

Each session begins with a brief didactic introduction, followed by case-based discussion with top tips, pitfalls, interactive questions, and take-home messages. The course format emphasises interactive learning through live Q&A, chat-based questions directed to speakers, and collaborative discussion. Delegates can interact with speakers in real-time and revisit the course content on-demand for 90 days after the live event.

By the end of the course, delegates will have a comprehensive understanding of spinal pathology in both specialist and general settings, improved skills in interpreting emergency spine pathology, and a deeper understanding of routine and complex chronic spine abnormalities. The course aims to equip radiologists with tips and tricks to avoid common diagnostic misses, particularly in areas often inconsistently reported, and to develop greater appreciation for issues relating to spinal intervention through collaborative discussion.
