The aim of this course:
MR Imaging of the musculoskeletal system is one of the most common requests in clinical routine work. MRI is more sensitive than x-rays and CT in the detection of tumours, degeneration, inflammation and sports injuries. However, specificity is often low and requires the knowledge of morphologic signs or specific sequence protocols.
In this advanced course 10 topics are addressed: bone and soft-tissue tumours, hip/pelvis, bone marrow, knee, sports injuries, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, spine and foot/ ankle. In each topic 4-5 challenging subjects are presented with anatomy, typical and atypical imaging examples and results from the recent literature.
The course will be a combination of lectures and case based repetitions in small groups. We are looking forward to welcoming you to this international course, which is held by renowned clinical experts from Europe.
Participation Requirements:
Physicians who have attended the School of MRI Applied MR Techniques Courses or have good knowledge in MR techniques from other sources; minimum of 6 months experience in applied MRI of the Musculoskeletal System.
