"Airways disease"
Learning objectives:
• to appreciate the capabilities and limitations of chest radiography, CT and MRI in the diagnosis of airways disease
• to recognise the typical features on imaging tests and, specifically CT, of airways disease (e.g. emphysema, mosaic attenuation patter, tree-in-bud pattern, bronchial dilatation/wall thickening)
• to be able to recognise abnormalities of the large airways (i.e. trachea and bronchi)

"Lung Infection in the Immunocompromised Host"
Learning objectives:
• to understand the crucial links between varied forms of immunocompromise and different causes of infection and the respective differential diagnosis
• to know the typical and atypical radiological manifestations of opportunistic lung infection in different immunocompromised patients
• to appreciate the non-specificity of radiological findings and the importance of multidisciplinary management of patients with severe immunocompromise
