Pedro Paulo Teixeira e Silva Torres

     At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the importance of imaging in the etiological diagnosis of chest pain in emergency contexts, as well as in therapeutic planning when applicable;
• Recognize the imaging aspects of the most relevant traumatic injuries within the thoracic compartment;
• Understand the concepts involved in the main types of pulmonary edema, as well as the imaging findings that support their diagnosis;
• To objectively evaluate the studies of patients admitted to intensive care units, with a view to the correct positioning of support materials and potential complications in this context.

The concepts involved in the investigation of chest pain (except coronary disease), chest trauma and the approach to critically ill patients in intensive care unit environments will be reviewed.

These topics will be covered using short lectures and case discussions selected by radiologists with expertise in thoracic and cardiovascular imaging.

The lessons (knowledge pills) will be made available in advance on the event platform and the pre-selected cases will be discussed live.
