Overview
The Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco invites you to attend its annual Neuro/MSK Imaging course on February 9-14, 2025 at the Fairmont Orchid on Big Island Hawaii. The course will present a comprehensive state-of-the-art update on clinically relevant topics in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging, including a discussion of optimized protocols.
Presentations will review indications that are commonly seen in general practice. The esteemed faculty will address updates to improve image acquisition and interpretation strategies with the goal of improving communication when referring cases to clinical and academic specialists.
Neuroradiology topics to be addressed include an imaging overview of neuroradiological emergencies, stroke and mimics, epilepsy, spinal tumors and mimics, head and neck tumor staging, inflammatory and infectious disorders of the spine and head & neck, post treatment imaging of the head & neck, postoperative imaging of the spine, and peripheral nerve imaging.
Musculoskeletal lectures will include presentations of the major joints, a discussion of a new classification and management system for incidental bone tumors, along with reviews of infection, arthritis, impingement, muscle imaging, and spondyloarthropathy.
Objectives
An attendee completing this course will be able to:
- Recommend CT/MR protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve, and musculoskeletal imaging
- Recognize specific imaging features of infection, trauma, tumors, and inflammatory diseases in the head & neck and spine, and communicate key findings enabling rapid pathological classification
- Distinguish between normal anatomy, common anatomic variants and pathological disorders of the major musculoskeletal joints, brain, head & neck, and spine as evaluated on MRI
- Interpret internal derangement and post-operative appearances of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle, and spine
- Implement utilization of diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures, and common joint injections
- Identify important imaging characteristics of infection, bone, and soft tissue tumors
- Understand the role of imaging in stroke, epilepsy, and central nervous system emergencies and communicate key findings
- Develop strategies for accurately imaging and interpreting common and uncommon disorders of the central nervous system, and recognize imaging mimics of sinister pathology
