Overview
This 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 with 1.5T and 3T MR.
The presentations will review indications that are commonly seen in general practice, for which the faculty will address updates to improve image acquisition and interpretation strategies. This in turn will improve communication when referring cases to clinical and academic specialists. Neuroradiology topics to be addressed include an imaging overview of commonly encountered disorders in adult and pediatric neuroradiology practices, head & neck tumor staging, temporal bone, spinal degeneration, and CSF leak. Musculoskeletal imaging will include review of presentations in the major joints, sports imaging, an introduction to musculoskeletal ultrasound, bone marrow and tumors, and inflammatory arthropathies.
Objectives
An attendee completing this course should be able to:
- Recommend CT/MR protocols for brain, head and neck, spine, nerve and musculoskeletal imaging;
- Recognize specific imaging features of infection, trauma, tumors, and inflammatory disorders in the head & 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 and neck, and spine as evaluated on MRI;
- Recognize internal derangement and post-operative appearances of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and foot;
- 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 advanced neuroimaging techniques including fMRI, DTI, and MR neurography;
- Develop strategies for evaluating common and uncommon abnormalities in the brain and spine.
