Bringing pulmonary infection into focus

Radiological imaging with chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) is an essential part of the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of pulmonary infections1. It is particularly important in immunocompromised patients, where such infections are common, with a high prevalence of morbidity and mortality2. Due to the overlapping appearances of different pulmonary infections and non-infectious diseases, interpreting scans can be challenging. From bacterial pneumonia to invasive fungal infections this module covers the breadth of infections that may be suspected in an immunocompromised patient to support clinicians to improve their image reporting skills and optimise the utility of these diagnostic tools.

Report And Image Quality Control (RAIQC) is an expert-curated, online educational platform that simulates clinical workflows with real-life cases and diagnostic images – a HCP ‘flight simulator for image interpretation’. By bringing cases to life and providing a safe place to practice, RAIQC drives competent and confident medical image reporting.

The ‘Pulmonary Infections in Immunocompromised Patients’ modules are a free three-part educational package.
