Description
About us
We are a genuine team of two individuals driven by their joint passion for excellence in radiology. Collaborating closely at all stages of our careers, we rank among the most internationally respected radiologists of our generation.
This is the story behind our CEM courses: A coherent teaching on highest scientific, clinical and teaching standard.
Since the very beginning of our teamwork, we have been passionate about scientifically sound, clinically relevant and didactically polished teaching. The enthusiastic feedback from our participants motivates us to constantly improve our courses.

What technical equipment do you recommend?
Our courses are held online via Zoom.
All you need is an internet-compatible device of your choice and a stable internet connection.
The following tips can maximize your learning experience:
- Install Zoom on your computer.
- Log in with your personal Zoom account.
- Familiarize yourself with basic functionalities, e.g., turning video and audio on/off and writing chat messages.
- Please do not use Zoom via your browser.
- Tip: Install the Zoom app on a second device (smartphone, tablet, etc.). This will make answering interactive polls more convenient. It will also serve as a backup.
- Choose a high-quality monitor. If possible, use your diagnostic workstation.
- A fast and stable internet connection (ideally LAN, not W-LAN), appropriate lighting, a quality microphone, and a quality webcam are important elements for success in the course.
