🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 A captivating presentation on pulmonary vascular intervention and trauma management. 📣 Dr Rosie Cadwallader ➡️ The importance of patient-centred decision making - when and when not to intervene. ➡️ A look at the available equipment and preferred approaches for vascular intervention. ➡️ A stimulating review of commonly encountered conditions and their management. #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 An exploration of the exciting new technology of robot-assisted bronchoscopy. 📣 Dr Haval Balata ➡️ Robotic bronchoscopy allows for more stable biopsy sampling than traditional endobronchial approaches, and allows smaller airways to be accessed. ➡️ An endobronchial approach can allow us to sample lesions not amenable to CT-guided biopsy, for example central lesions, or those close to the diaphragm. ➡️ Multiple nodules can be sampled in one attendance. #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 An inspiring session about the challenges of performing CT-guided lung biopsies in the modern era. 📣 Dr Becca Duerden ➡️ Standardisation of the booking and consent is the first step in maximising resources ➡️ A safety-focussed approach with a dedicated team is vital to reducing and managing complications. #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging #radiology @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 A thought-provoking series of educational and scientific presentations ranging from PEs, CXR AI interpretation and incidental findings on lung cancer screening . Congratulations to all the resident doctors! #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging #Radiology @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 Dr Bramley covers the exciting potential for AI in chest imaging 📣 Dr Rhidian Bramley ➡️ Autonomous AI reporting of high-confidence normal chest radiographs may be a cost effective future strategy ➡️ AI reads of chest radiographs can be as good as reporting radiographers in picking up lung cancer, if not better! #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 A sobering talk on the clinical impact and radiological features of silicosis 📣 Dr Jennifer Hoyle ➡️ Silicosis is often progressive, despite removing the exposure. ➡️ Silicosis can have radiology features similar to sarcoidosis or TB, including bilateral hilar enlargement on chest radiographs; Silica-Associated Lymphadenopathy (SAL) ➡️ Erasmus syndrome is a rare occupational disorder seen in patients with systemic sclerosis and prolonged silica exposure with a poor prognosis #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 An enlightening talk by infectious diseases consultant Dr Kosmidis on the spectrum of aspergillus clinical syndromes 📣 Dr Chris Kosmidis ➡️ COPD is a risk factor for invasive aspergillosis ➡️ Invasive aspergillosis in ITU patients can have non-classical features including cavitation ➡️ Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis can present as a lung nodule, thus mimicking cancer ➡️ Cavity size is unrelated to chronic pulmonary aspergillosis evolution, whereas size of the intracavitary material and cavity wall thickness correlate with clinical improvement #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

A full house on day 2 of the @BSTImaging with amazing talks on Thoracic Imaging issues #Radiology #thoracicimaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 A huge thank you to Professor Fergus Gleeson for an enlightening and entertaining talk on his impactful career and reflections on the past, present and future of Radiology. #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 An entertaining and thought provoking keynote lecture on Breathing Life Back into Thoracic Imaging 📣 A big thank you to Professor Annemiek Snoeckx ! ➡️ Celebrate imperfections and how to repair them ➡️ Stay Optimistic ➡️ Adopt a growth mindset and embrace challenges #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 An informative REALM session providing thoughtful insights and reflections in learning from discrepancies 📣 Dr Rachel Magennis ➡️ The variety of biases which influence our reporting ➡️ The dangers of cognitive dissonance when reviewing mistakes ➡️ The emotional toll of making errors ➡️ Encouraging a culture of accountability ➡️ Adopting a growth mindset to make learning the goal. #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 A fun and informative Annual Quiz filled with Manchester trivia, interesting cases and learning points for general chest reporting! 📣 Dr Emma Reid & Dr Ben Brown PS - look up the Wigan Kebab! @BSTImaging

BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 BTS guidance and nodule follow up: 2026 update 📣 Dr Arjun Nair ➡️ An interesting insight in the methodology and nuances in creating the latest recommendations for the investigation and management of pulmonary nodules!

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 A clear and concise update on the latest ILD classification and nomenclature guidelines 📣 Dr Nazia Chaudhury ➡️ MDT should document both the pattern and diagnosis ➡️ BIP (bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumonia) now represents a major interstitial pneumonia (airways centric pattern) ➡️ AML (Alveolar macrophage pneumonia) replaces DIP ➡️ Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) replaces AIP #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 A summary on the major updates in TNM staging (9th edition) 📣 Dr Seamus Grundy ➡️ T: No major changes since the previous edition ➡️ N: N2a (single station) vs N2b (multiple N2 stations) ➡️ M: Additional M1c1 and M1c2 subgroups - extrathoracic mets in a single organ vs multiple organs ➡️ T1N2a = Stage 2b and T1N2b = stage 3a #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

🩻 BSTI ASM 2026 🫁 An educational talk on how to assess for pleural disease! 📣 Dr Anthony Edey ➡️ Pleural imaging needs a 60-90s delay of contrast ➡️ Have a close look at the deep costophrenic recesses ➡️ Be mindful of TB/infection mimicking malignancy ➡️ MRI can be used to help characterise pleural tissue and look for endometriosis deposits #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging @BSTImaging

Pleural masterclass by Dr. Anthony Edey. Good learning point , pleural disease can hide on earlier arterial / CTPA protocols (left image) , notice how on a dedicated delayed protocol the nodularity becomes visible on the right . @BSTImaging #BSTI2026 #ThoracicImaging #Radiology #MedEd #Manchester
