FAQ
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about PixiLearn.
Courses
Who are the courses aimed at?
PixiLearn courses are exclusively aimed at healthcare professionals specialised in, or with strong ties to, medical imaging: specialist physicians in medical imaging (radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, radiation oncologists, anatomopathologists), clinical physicians with a high involvement in medical imaging (oncologists, neurologists, pneumologists, cardiologists…), medical physicists, and radiographers.
Our courses are specialised training programmes reserved for these healthcare professionals.
How do I create an account on PixiLearn?
It's very simple — go to https://platform.pixilearn.fr and navigate to the "login" page where you will find a link to create your personal account. A video and PDF guide explains how to create your account in just a few minutes!
How can I fund my training?
Several funding options are available depending on your professional status: DPC for independent practitioners, training plan for employed physicians, and OPCO via our Qualiopi certification. Visit our DPC Training page for full details.
How do I register for a course?
The registration process is 100% digital and can be completed in just a few minutes. We have automated and simplified the process:
- Fill in the registration form: each course has a registration link where you can enter administrative details, your training expectations and needs…
- A contract is automatically generated; you will receive a request for electronic signature within moments.
- Sign your training contract.
- Your login credentials will be sent automatically upon contract signature, along with your enrolment confirmation and platform access details.
All you have to do then is follow your course on PixiLearn.
How far in advance do I need to register?
You can choose to be notified when registration opens for a course. Registrations close 3 days before the course starts or when all available places have been filled.
Is the number of places in a course limited?
Yes — we want to keep training sessions to a reasonable size in order to preserve interactivity between lecturers and participants. Register as early as possible to secure your place.
Sessions with the highest demand are likely to be repeated, so if you miss out, there will almost certainly be further opportunities.
When will I receive my certificate of completion?
It will be generated automatically at the end of the course, provided you meet all the validation criteria, and will be directly available on PixiLearn. This certificate of completion will allow you to confirm your successful participation in the training.
Do the courses count towards my continuing medical education?
Yes, for those that mention it (this depends on your medical specialty and the course content). Please check the course description page for details.
How are PixiLearn lecturers selected?
Simply through their motivation, teaching quality, and expertise. We meet all lecturers to discuss their educational project and support them in creating content that aligns with our vision of medical imaging education.
Do participants retain access to course content after the training?
Yes — after your course, the clinical cases will remain available for 2 weeks so you can revisit the images and continue practising. Lecturers may also make additional clinical cases available for self-paced review after the course.
Course materials prepared by the lecturer — presentations and documents — will be made available at the end of the training and can be downloaded directly from the platform.
Are your courses accessible from abroad?
Yes! You can follow our courses as long as you have an internet connection!
Can I access participant reviews of the courses?
Yes — reviews of our courses are publicly available and help you identify the content that best matches your expectations.
Community Clinical Cases
Why share clinical cases?
PixiLearn aims to be a space for sharing experiences between medical imaging professionals. Physicians frequently encounter original cases and unexpected diagnoses — sharing your clinical cases creates a collaborative space for exchanging experiences that benefits the whole community.
With PixiLearn you can share a complete imaging file that users can explore in full through our viewer, just as if they were interpreting the images in their own department.
You can thus create unique clinical cases that contribute to the spread of knowledge and the improvement of medical imaging practices.
How do I share my clinical cases?
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 case (using a simple text editor).
- Contact us for the upload.
Our team will handle anonymisation and installation of the clinical case; publication is completed within 3–4 days.
Is anonymisation of the images guaranteed?
Yes! That is precisely why we handle the installation of imaging ourselves — we perform metadata anonymisation in accordance with current standards and also anonymise the images themselves, in particular identifiable areas such as faces. We ensure that no secondary screen captures are present.
We verify every case to ensure strict anonymisation of the clinical file.
Can I interact with the community about these clinical cases?
Yes — we can activate a discussion forum or commenting system for your clinical case to enable sharing and communication with your readers.
Sharing clinical cases and becoming a lecturer?
Yes! Sharing clinical cases is a great way to gauge the community's interest in your clinical expertise, build recognition for your know-how, and then create a structured course delivered through PixiLearn.
Sharing cases is an excellent way to assess the medical community's need for your topics, test your teaching approach, and build the confidence to reveal the expert within you.
Platform
What are the hardware requirements for my computer?
There are requirements, but you are likely to already meet them. PixiLearn uses recent technologies to allow you to view imaging on your computer as you would on a professional workstation.
Your computer needs at least 8 GB of RAM (ideally 16 GB) and a graphics card. If your PC runs Windows 11 you are compatible. If you use a Mac, it is almost certainly compatible if your Mac is less than 10 years old.
In any case, when you first connect to the platform, an onboarding module will allow you to test your hardware compatibility — no unpleasant surprises.
Do I need to install any software on my computer?
No — PixiLearn only needs a web browser. If you are reading these lines, you already have one!
Which browsers are compatible?
PixiLearn is compatible with all major browsers: Chrome, Safari, and Edge. There is a slight caveat for Firefox, which has some compatibility issues with certain hardware configurations — the onboarding module on the platform will help you test your setup.
What internet speed is required for PixiLearn?
A good connection is important for following virtual classroom video conferences and downloading images for interactive clinical cases. A fibre connection is recommended for an optimal experience. A slower connection (typically 4G) will not prevent you from following courses, but image loading may take a little longer.
Can I try the platform?
Yes! Create an account and you can explore PixiLearn in just a few clicks. An onboarding course will help you get to grips with the platform, and you can discover demonstration educational content.
Is there documentation for PixiLearn?
Yes — we have produced easy-to-follow documentation in the form of short videos, accessible through the PixiLearn onboarding course. It takes approximately 15 minutes to become fully comfortable with the platform.
Can I connect on a smartphone or tablet?
Yes, but… Our platform only requires a browser and is therefore compatible with mobile devices. However, these devices may be too small to make the most of interactive clinical cases — we strongly advise against using smartphones.
For tablets of 10 inches or more, use is possible provided you can connect a mouse, which allows you to use the viewer comfortably. We generally recommend using a desktop computer, ideally with a dual-screen setup, replicating the conditions of your everyday clinical workstation.
Do I need a dual-screen setup?
It is not mandatory, but we recommend it. You can follow courses perfectly well with a single screen, but a second screen adds comfort by avoiding the need to switch between the video conference and the clinical cases.
A dual-screen setup is very easy to achieve: either on your departmental workstations, which are likely already multi-screen, or by connecting your laptop to an external monitor via HDMI.
My hospital has extensive internet filtering — can I still access PixiLearn?
Hospitals do implement extensive filtering for IT security reasons, and each institution has its own policies — so this is difficult to answer definitively. The easiest way is simply to try connecting to PixiLearn and test access, case viewing, and the conferencing system.
If access is restricted, two solutions are available:
- Contact your institution's IT support team to request that the restriction on our services be lifted (we will answer any questions they may have).
- Use an external connection not subject to this restriction: your home internet, public Wi-Fi, or a 4G/5G connection if speeds are adequate.
Lecturers
What format should I use to prepare my course?
For us, the best format is the one you judge most appropriate for the message you want to convey. We give our lecturers significant pedagogical freedom. Our only objective is satisfaction — for both lecturers and participants — and the best format is the one that delivers the greatest satisfaction!
Do I need to anonymise the medical images?
No — you may do so if you wish, but we will carry out anonymisation in any case before installing the clinical cases. Anonymisation is handled by Pixilib to ensure full compliance with the standards that guarantee patient confidentiality; it includes metadata anonymisation and pixel-level anonymisation of sensitive areas such as the face.
I am a physician outside France — can I teach on PixiLearn?
Yes! PixiLearn has no borders — you can teach in any language to any audience. PixiLearn's mission is to spread knowledge beyond frontiers. If your ambition is to deliver a course in English to a global audience, we are ready!
Is the number of participants in a course limited?
Not within reason — we have already run courses with 60 simultaneous users with no difficulties. PixiLearn can accommodate many concurrent connections, though more than 80 participants would be inadvisable.
The limit is not technical but pedagogical: the DNA of PixiLearn is to promote interactive training with rich exchanges between lecturers and participants — too large a group would undermine this interactivity.
