🫁 **THORACIC THURSDAYS | DECODING THE DIFFICULT CHEST**

When the lungs, vessels and systemic disease decide to make things complicated, pattern recognition alone may not be enough.

This month, **Thoracic Thursdays** takes on two challenging areas in chest imaging: **vasculitis and uncommon ILDs**.

🔍 **What to expect?**
• A case-based approach to ANCA-associated vasculitis in adults
• Pulmonary and vascular manifestations of paediatric vasculitis
• Uncommon ILDs and their diagnostic challenges
• Real cases, practical imaging insights and an interactive Q&A

Featuring an expert faculty from **AIIMS New Delhi**, this promises to be an engaging session for anyone who enjoys the challenge of solving the difficult chest.

📅 **10 September 2026**
⏰ **8:00–9:00 PM IST**
📍 Online | **Thoracic Thursdays by SCII**

Sometimes the difficult chest isn't difficult because the findings are rare.
**It's difficult because the clues are easy to miss.**

Join us and sharpen your approach.

🦠 Not every chest infection looks like a chest infection.

Some masquerade as malignancy.
Some mimic inflammatory disease.
Some quietly hide in plain sight.

This month's **Thoracic Thursday** is all about the patterns that challenge us, the pitfalls that trap us, and the subtle imaging clues that make all the difference.

Join us as experts take a deep dive into atypical thoracic infections, followed by fascinating case discussions where appearances proved deceptive.

Because in thoracic imaging, the diagnosis often belongs to the radiologist who notices what everyone else overlooks.

See you this Thursday!

Missed our Thoracic Thursday session on UK Radiology Career Pathways?

If you've ever wondered about FRCR, GMC registration, NHS careers, fellowships, Portfolio Pathway, visas, or life as a radiologist in the UK, this recording is well worth your time.

The discussion brought together an exceptional panel of radiologists who shared their personal journeys, practical advice, challenges, and lessons learned while building successful careers in the UK.

What makes this session particularly valuable is that it goes beyond official guidance and addresses the questions that many radiologists actually have but often struggle to find reliable answers to.

Whether you're a resident planning your future, a fellow exploring opportunities, or an experienced radiologist considering a move to the UK, you'll find plenty of useful insights.

If you couldn't join us live, here's your chance to catch up.

Cystic lung diseases often feel scattered - too many entities, overlapping patterns, and just enough exceptions to confuse even the confident reader.
Maybe the issue isn’t the topic… but how we remember it.

Here is an attempt to make a metaphorical approach. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to visualise what’s actually happening. When a disease has an image or a story attached to it, it becomes far easier to recognise on scans.

Each cystic lung disease has its own personality — and once you see that, the patterns start to fall into place.

Let’s rethink cystic lung disease.
