Course Description:

The bridge between Radiology and Orthopedics is a key component to the success of providing patients with the best quality of care. This teamwork becomes even more significant when dealing with complications and with controversial issues. Our 3-day CME course will cover, in-tandem, topics in musculoskeletal medicine including trauma, joint replacement, sports medicine, and spine from the radiologist and orthopaedist point of view. Imaging of these topics in all modalities including ultrasound-guided intervention is included. Each clinical talk delivered by a radiologist and orthopaedist will address, "What does the Radiologist need to know?" and "What do I need to know from the Radiologist?" Each session includes a multidisciplinary panel composed of internationally renowned radiologists and orthopedic surgeons who will debate on "How I do it” They will also discuss interesting cases submitted by our course participants.

Learning Objectives:

• Improve the quality of their reports
• Identify controversial issues in musculoskeletal medicine and the relevant imaging findings
• Recognize surgical techniques and post-operative imaging
• Describe the utilization of different imaging modalities and image-guided interventions
• Demonstrate improved communication between radiologists and orthopaedists.
