State-of-the-Art Radiology CME
UCSF Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging course delivers a comprehensive review of clinically relevant developments in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging, including a discussion of optimized protocols with 1.5T and 3T MR. Faculty discuss disorders commonly seen in general practice, along with updates designed to improve image acquisition and interpretation strategies.
Continuing medical education topics covered in UCSF Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging include an overview of adult and pediatric neuro disorders, an introduction to musculoskeletal ultrasound, and more:

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant 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 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 & 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
