Join us to confidently enhance your capabilities in MSK imaging.

The course covers the vast majority of musculoskeletal diseases including trauma, neoplasm, infection, arthritis and internal derangement, metabolic, systemic and congenital abnormalities. A systematic “pattern approach” to differential diagnosis will also be emphasized.

Instruction will be provided by nationally and internationally recognized faculty who will emphasize radiologic-pathologic correlation to enhance your understanding of musculoskeletal disease.

Access course materials.

At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify the most common musculoskeletal lesions.
  • Describe the best imaging modality for a variety of musculoskeletal lesions.
  • Identify the tools and strategies that can be implemented to facilitate radiology-pathology communication and correlation.
  • Describe those diseases of the musculoskeletal system in which radiologic imaging is key for accurate diagnosis.
