South Africa · CPD courses & CPD points · Health Professionals
Interpreting neuroimaging is a vital skill for psychologists working with clients affected by neurological injury or disease. Building Brains: Interpreting CT & MRI Scan Results and Paper Cases is a practical CPD resource that builds foundational knowledge in reading brain scans and connecting imaging results with functional outcomes.
This video-based course introduces the fundamentals of CT and MRI imaging, explaining how each modality works, the terminology used in scan reports, and how to distinguish acute versus chronic brain lesions. The course also explores how lesion timing impacts neuroplasticity and potential for recovery. A unique visual demonstration using a 3D clay brain model helps learners understand the internal structures revealed in scan slices. Finally, participants are guided through three real-world CT scan reports and challenged to predict likely clinical outcomes based on the lesions described
