Stay Current on Rapidly Changing Specialty
UCSF Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging is a comprehensive state-of-the-art update on clinically relevant topics in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging. This in-depth CME course includes case-based lectures on topics like skeletal trauma, shoulder instability, brain tumor pitfalls, hydrocephalus, staging cervical nodes, and more. It will help you to better:
- Revamp imaging protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve and musculoskeletal imaging
- Understand the parameters of MR arthrographic technique and interpretation of findings
- Develop strategies to create short brain, spine and neck differentials
- Implement newer MR sequences like 3D volumetric imaging and metal suppression techniques
- Understand advances in stroke management and its effect on imaging
- Outline strategies to evaluate common and uncommon abnormalities in the neck and spine
* Date of Original Release: April 16, 2019
* Date of Expiration: April 15, 2022
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to apply the following:
- Update and improve imaging protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve and musculoskeletal imaging
- Recognize specific imaging features of infection and tumors in the head, neck, spine and peripheral nerves
- Distinguish between normal anatomy, common anatomic variants and pathological disorders related to MRI of the major musculoskeletal joints, brain, head, neck and spine
- Recognize internal derangement appearances of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and foot
- Implement newer MR sequences such as 3D volumetric imaging and metal suppression techniques
- Understand the parameters of MR arthrographic technique and interpretation of findings
- Sharpen evaluation of muscle and tendon abnormalities, and evaluate various abnormalities that simulate musculoskeletal tumors
- Develop strategies for creating short brain, spine and neck differentials
- Understand advances in stroke management and its impact on imaging
- Develop strategies for evaluating common and uncommon abnormalities in the neck and spine
