Unmet Need - Education

Education on best practices & protocols for

radiographers is an unmet need in ASEAN.

Access to training and new information is

important for them to develop their competency in
reporting and making informed clinical comments
on the examination they conduct on patients.

Action: Launch RadAspire September 1 - 2014

Online education portal CM usage,

protocols, clinical applications &
technology

Improper use of Contrast Media can impact the

quality of CT/MR diagnosis.

Education on best practices & protocols of

contrast media usage as well as safety aspects
of contrast media usage is important.

First module will focus on Contrast Media

Program Roadmap
Phase I will be launched on Sept 1, 2014 with 5 training modules
through an online learning academy. Each module will include the
training material, 2-D info-graphics, post-test questions, audio
narration, full referencing etc.

Phase II will include a Collaboration Zone and Webinar platform to

increase interaction and experience sharing between peer groups.

Phase III will offer a more engaging experience with the E-Congress
feature, the high impact virtual event tool to exchange ideas, discuss
topics and share information, all from the comfort of home or office.

Phase II & III on hold due to Compliance clearance
