19th Annual Musculoskeletal MR Course

This course is designed for general radiologists and allied health personnel involved in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders. Emphasis will be placed on the clinical applications of MR imaging, particularly for internal derangement of joints. Detailed review of the regional anatomy of articulations will be emphasized, as well as a review of standard imaging protocols for the major articulations. The use of MR for assessment of post-traumatic alterations of joints will be reviewed in detail for the major joints. The role of MR imaging in nonarticular disorders, such as trauma, osteonecrosis, and bone marrow disorders, will be briefly reviewed. A practical approach to MR imaging of common musculoskeletal disorders will be emphasized.
