Nowadays, the human genome is already sequenced, which means that about three billion base pairs of our DNA have already been identified, such as its order. This sequence, however, is not exactly the same for each of us. About 99.5% of a person’s DNA is similar to anyone else’s DNA, even if not relatives. Nonetheless, the small, but distinct, 0.5% is responsible for the genetic variability. Such differences include changes in a single nucleotide, changes in one or more genes, or even changes in chromosome number or structure. Some differences that occur in DNA sequences have little or no effect on protein function, while other differences are directly responsible for causing disease.

A genetic test consists of analyzing our DNA, through molecular biology techniques, such as Sanger sequencing or NGS, where it is possible to compare the analyzed DNA with the reference genome and identify the changes.

Assessing the clinical significance of a genetic change (genetic variant) in an individual’s DNA helps the clinician to make decisions about the patient. For example, in some cases, the identification of a certain genetic variant may inform about treatment options for certain cancers (personalized medicine); in other cases, it may allow decisions about offspring (prenatal testing) or may help inform at-risk family members about possible preventive measures. We can find many variants during the sequencing of an individual’s DNA, so one of the important steps in sequencing interpretation is to establish which variant is most relevant to explain a given phenotype by looking at various existing sources of evidence.

Thus, the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) elaborated guidelines and standard terminology to classify identified variants in genes that cause Mendelian Diseases. This classification system defines five classes:
1. Benign;
2. Probably benign;
3. Variant of uncertain clinical significance (VUS);
4. Probably pathogenic;
5. Pathogenic.

This recommendation describes the process of classifying variants into these categories based on criteria that use different types of evidence (population, computational, functional, and segregation data, among others).

In conclusion, this workshop explores the ACMG criteria and uses practical examples to reach the various classifications of variants, identified in cancer patients.

“Is Radiology a doomed medical specialty? Do you think machines will take humans’ place in diagnostic imaging?

If you do, you really need to take part on this workshop!

Radiologists have long been labeled as “tech nerds” and AI tools only came to confirm it.

The use of AI tools is increasing among radiologists and neuroradiologists all over the world. On the one hand, these tools can optimize radiologists’ diagnostic performance but, on the other hand, they may also be a pain in the neck.

In this workshop, you will get to know two of our clinical team’s favorite AI tools, hear about our experience with these tools and also try them in a 45min hands-on session.

If you want to know if radiologists and AI are really BFFs or enemies, join us in this workshop and see it for yourself!"

Would you ever learn to ride your bicycle without enduring a few falls? In fact, you don’t need to break any bone to become a proficient rider. Mistakes are intrinsic to human nature, so goes the saying “to err is human”. That was also IOM 1999’s landmark report title, as is WHO’s course on patient harm prevention. But error is also a formidable tool for learning, one that we use during our lifetime to improve our performance and evolve. During a 3-hour workshop, we will first talk about error as a learning tool, types of errors in Medicine, and the role of simulation in learning and error avoidance. The participants will be immersed in two different clinical scenarios and allowed (but not induced) to make errors, depending on whether their interpretation, interaction and decision are correct or not. The course of action will then be debriefed with the help of trained instructors.

3. Variant of uncertain clinical significance (VUS);
4. Probably pathogenic;
5. Pathogenic.

This recommendation describes the process of classifying variants into these categories based on criteria that use different types of evidence (population, computational, functional, and segregation data, among others).

In conclusion, this workshop explores the ACMG criteria and uses practical examples to reach the various classifications of variants, identified in cancer patients.

“Is Radiology a doomed medical specialty? Do you think machines will take humans’ place in diagnostic imaging?

If you do, you really need to take part on this workshop!

Radiologists have long been labeled as “tech nerds” and AI tools only came to confirm it.

The use of AI tools is increasing among radiologists and neuroradiologists all over the world. On the one hand, these tools can optimize radiologists’ diagnostic performance but, on the other hand, they may also be a pain in the neck.

In this workshop, you will get to know two of our clinical team’s favorite AI tools, hear about our experience with these tools and also try them in a 45min hands-on session.

If you want to know if radiologists and AI are really BFFs or enemies, join us in this workshop and see it for yourself!"

Would you ever learn to ride your bicycle without enduring a few falls? In fact, you don’t need to break any bone to become a proficient rider. Mistakes are intrinsic to human nature, so goes the saying “to err is human”. That was also IOM 1999’s landmark report title, as is WHO’s course on patient harm prevention. But error is also a formidable tool for learning, one that we use during our lifetime to improve our performance and evolve. During a 3-hour workshop, we will first talk about error as a learning tool, types of errors in Medicine, and the role of simulation in learning and error avoidance. The participants will be immersed in two different clinical scenarios and allowed (but not induced) to make errors, depending on whether their interpretation, interaction and decision are correct or not. The course of action will then be debriefed with the help of trained instructors.
