Who are the training courses aimed at ?

PixiLearn’s training courses are aimed exclusively at healthcare professionals who specialise in or have a strong link with medical imaging: doctors specialising in medical imaging (radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, radiotherapists, anatomopathologists), clinical doctors with a strong impact on medical imaging (oncologists, neurologists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, etc.), medical physicists, electroradiology manipulators.

Our training courses are specialised courses reserved for these healthcare professionals.

It’s very simple, just go to https://platform.pixilearn.fr and go to the ‘login’ page, where you’ll find a link to create your personal account.
A video and PDF documentation explains how to create your account in just a few minutes!

The registration process is 100% digital, and you can register for a programme in just a few minutes. We’ve automated and simplified registration:

  • Fill out the registration form: For each course, a registration link is available, allowing you to provide administrative details, your expectations, and training needs.

  • A contract is automatically generated; you’ll immediately receive an electronic signature request for your training contract.

  • Sign your training contract.

  • You’ll automatically receive your login information upon contract signature. The confirmation email will contain your invitation and platform access details.

Then, all you have to do is follow your programme on PixiLearn!

You can choose to be notified when course registrations open. Registrations close 3 days before the start of the course or when all available places have been filled.

Yes, we want to keep our training sessions to a reasonable size to preserve interactivity between speakers and participants.

So register as soon as possible to secure your place.

The sessions that are most in demand are likely to be repeated, so if you’ve missed your turn, you’ll certainly have other opportunities in subsequent sessions.

Yes ! It will be generated automatically at the end of the course if you meet all the validation criteria, and will be directly available on PixiLearn.

This certificate of completion will enable you to prove that you have successfully completed the course.

Yes, for those that mention it (it depends on your medical speciality and the content of the course). Go to the course description page to find out.

Quite simply because of their motivation, their teaching skills and their expertise. We meet with all the lecturers to discuss their teaching project and we support them so that they can create their teaching content in line with our vision of medical imaging training.

Yes, after your training the clinical cases will be available for 2 weeks to allow you to re-explore the images and practise.

Lecturers can also make additional clinical cases available for you to view at your own pace after your training.

Course materials, presentations and documents prepared by the lecturer will be made available at the end of the course and can be downloaded directly from the platform.

Yes, you can follow our courses as long as you have access to an internet connection!

Yes, the evaluations of our training courses are public and allow you to identify the content that best meets your expectations.

Clinical cases from the community

PixiLearn aims to be a place where medical imaging professionals can share their experiences.

Doctors frequently come across original cases and unexpected diagnoses. Sharing your clinical cases allows you to create a collaborative space for exchanging experience that will benefit the community.

With PixiLearn, you can share a complete imaging file that users can view in full using our viewer, as if they were interpreting the images in their department.

In this way, you can create unique clinical cases that will help to disseminate knowledge and improve medical imaging practices.

You can share your clinical cases in 3 simple steps:

Save the DICOM files of your clinical case
Prepare the text you want to associate with the clinical case (using a simple text editor)
Contact us to put it online.

Our team will anonymise and install the clinical case, and it will be online within 3-4 days.

Yes, that’s why we install the images ourselves, anonymise the metadata in accordance with current standards and anonymise the image itself, particularly identifying areas such as faces.
We ensure that there are no secondary screen captures.

We check each case to ensure that it is strictly anonymised.

Yes, with your clinical case we can activate a discussion forum or comment system to share/communicate with your readers.

Sharing clinical cases is a good way of testing the community’s interest in your clinical expertise, building recognition of your know-how and then creating structured training delivered by PixiLearn.

Sharing cases is a good way of assessing the needs of the community of doctors on your topics, testing your teaching methods and building your self-confidence so that you can take the plunge and reveal the expert you didn’t know you were.

Plateform

Yes, but you have every chance of getting them.
PixiLearn uses the latest technology to enable you to view the images on your computer just like on a real professional workstation.

Your computer needs to be equipped with at least 8GB of RAM (ideally 16GB) and a graphics card.

If your PC is running Windows 11, you are compatible (Windows 11 requires the same hardware specifications). Also if you’re on a Mac, this is certainly the case if your Mac is less than 10 years old.

Hardware limitations may arise if you have an older PC (over 10 years old) and/or entry-level PCs such as notebooks, which have largely disappeared from the PCs in use.

In any case, when you log on to the platform, a hands-on module will allow you to test your hardware compatibility, so you won’t have any unpleasant surprises.

No, PixiLearn only needs a web browser to work.
If you’re reading this, you must already have one!

PixiLearn is compatible with all the major browsers: Chrome, Safari and Edge. The only downside is that FireFox poses some compatibility problems for certain hardware configurations (don’t panic, you’ll see all that with the onboarding module on the platform to test your computer).

Broadband is important for following virtual classes via videoconferencing and downloading images for interactive clinical cases.
A fibre connection is recommended for an optimal experience (more than 80% of French homes will be connected to fibre by 2025).
A slower connection (typically 4G) will not prevent you from following the courses, but it will take a little longer to load the images.

Yes! Create an account and you can discover PixiLearn in just a few clicks. An onboarding course will help you get to grips with PixiLearn, and you’ll be able to discover demonstration educational content.

Yes, we wanted this documentation to be didactic in the form of videos lasting just a few minutes, which you can access via the PixiLearn onboarding course. It will take you around 15 minutes to get the hang of PixiLearn.

Yes, but…
Yes, because our platform only requires a browser and is therefore compatible with mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

However, these devices may be too small to take full advantage of the interactive clinical cases. In particular, we strongly advise against using smartphones, which have far too small a screen.

Tablets of 10 inches or more can be used if you can connect a mouse to your tablet, which will enable you to use the viewer in good conditions.

Overall, we recommend that you use a computer with a desktop screen, ideally even with a dual screen.
In your practice, you do not interpret your images on a smartphone or tablet. PixiLearn is designed to train you in the same conditions as a routine work situation, so choose a quality work environment to follow our training courses.

This is not compulsory, but we do recommend it.
You will be able to follow the training courses without difficulty with a single screen (desktop or laptop), but the dual screen will provide you with additional comfort by avoiding you having to switch windows between the videoconference and the clinical cases.

A dual-screen station is very easy to obtain:
Either in your department on your work computers, which are probably already multi-screen
Or by using your laptop, which almost certainly has an HDMI output that you can connect to a desktop computer screen, so you will have the laptop screen and the external screen that will allow you to work in dual-screen mode.

Hospitals have implemented a large number of filters on accessible sites for IT security reasons. As each hospital has its own security policies, this question is difficult to answer.

However, all you need to do to answer this question is to try it out: connect to PixiLearn and try out access, case reading and the conference system.

If access is restricted, you have two options:

  • Contact your institution’s IT support so that they can lift the access restriction on our services (if necessary we will answer their questions)
  • Use an external connection that will not have this restriction: Your personal connection at home, a public wifi or 4G/5G access if the speed is correct.

Trainer

For us, the right format is the one you feel is best suited to the message you want to convey. We give our trainers a great deal of educational freedom.

We have our own vision of medical imaging training, and this vision is a flexible framework in which we favour your freedom to teach.

Our sole objective is the satisfaction of both lecturers and participants. The right format is the one that gives the greatest satisfaction!

No, you can do it, but we will do it anyway before installing the clinical cases.
Anonymisation is managed by Pixilib to ensure that it complies with standards that guarantee patient confidentiality. It includes anonymisation of metadata and anonymisation of pixels in sensitive areas such as the face.

Yes! PixiLearn knows no borders – you can teach in any language to any audience.

PixiLearn’s aim is to spread knowledge beyond borders. Do you have the ambition to make English-language training available to a worldwide audience? We’re ready for it!

No, within reason. We’ve already had courses with 60 users connected at the same time, and they went off without a hitch.
PixiLearn can accommodate a large number of simultaneous connections, but it seems unreasonable to have more than 80 participants.
PixiLearn’s DNA is to promote interactive training with rich exchanges between trainers and participants. Too many participants would be a limit to this interactivity.

However, we are open to all educational projects. Our policy is a vision of imaging training, not a dogma.
