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
