Course Overview
This intensive three-day course is designed to give practicing radiologists a hands-on, expert-led experience in MR imaging techniques and interpretation for the elbow, wrist and hand. You'll also dive into specialized topics such as pediatric sports injuries, bone and soft tissue tumors, joint replacements, arthritis, musculoskeletal infections, and bone marrow evaluation.
Tailored for non-musculoskeletal-trained radiologists, this course offers the chance to interpret over 100 real musculoskeletal cases under the guidance of leading experts. Through interactive scan interpretation sessions and in-depth reviews of key findings, attendees will gain the skills, expertise and confidence needed to navigate even the most complex examinations with ease.
At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify the normal appearances of important anatomic structures on MR imaging of the elbow, wrist and hand.
- Identify abnormalities involving the collateral ligaments, biceps tendon, epicondyles and osteochondral structures about the elbow.
- Detect common abnormalities involving the wrist and hand including tears of the triangular fibrocartilage, scapholunate ligament, lunotriquetral ligament, ulnar collateral ligament, scaphoid fractures and to evaluate the imaging features of inflammatory arthritis.
- Recognize the important features of diagnosis and staging of bone and soft tissue tumors.
- Recognize the radiologic features of joint arthroplasty complications.
- Detect common sports injuries unique to pediatric patients and additional frequent tendon and muscle traumatic lesions on MR imaging.
