Radiography Reading ‘The Vomiting Patient’ (13/08/2026)
Member exclusive
Our radiography reading sessions are a great way for our Specialists to bring new and interesting diagnostic imaging conundrums for discussion with our vtx community. In this session, we will be looking at radiographs of the vomiting patient, with an emphasis on interpretation, pattern recognition, and practical decision making in clinical practice. We’ll work through cases together, considering what we can learn from the radiographs, the important findings not to miss, and how the imaging findings can help guide our next clinical steps.
