Master CT Abdomen/Pelvis for On-Call Readiness
No credit card required.
Radiology is hard. You can read 100 pages about CT abdomen in a textbook, but when a real case comes through at 2 AM, the connection between what you read and what you see just isn't there. You shouldn't have to figure this out alone in the darkroom.
This course bridges that gap by teaching you from the ground up. We start with a foundational video covering essential anatomy and an approach, then apply that approach with 52 carefully curated, scrollable DICOM cases covering the bread-and-butter emergencies you should never miss — plus the clinical pearls that will take your reports to the next level.
You commit to findings. You submit your interpretation to the AI Attending. You get Socratic feedback. By the end, you won't just know what pathologies like appendicitis look like — you'll recognise them at 2 AM.
Who This Course Is For
R1–R3 residents preparing for body imaging call shifts, and physicians and surgeons who want to learn to read abdominal CT. Also valuable for international graduates who want to build their pattern recognition. Senior residents who want to tighten their systematic approach before fellowship.

What You'll Learn
- 1Systematically evaluate a CT abdomen/pelvis using a reliable, repeatable search pattern so you don't miss critical findings.
- 2Confidently identify complex peritoneal and retroperitoneal anatomy, including the spaces where free fluid and tumour metastases commonly hide.
- 3Recognise and report the imaging features of pathologies like appendicitis, pancreatitis, and bowel obstruction — and build the pattern recognition to identify them confidently in a PACS-style viewer.
"I saw a cystic artery pseudoaneurysm on a call shift. I recognised it immediately from the gallbladder module. My attending was surprised. Those kinds of moments have happened several times now."
