Essentials of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound: Diagnostic and Interventional Skills (Jan 26 - 28, 2018)

Essentials of Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound: Diagnostic and Interventional Skills is organized by Medical Technology Management Institute (MTMI) and will be held during Jan 26 - 28, 2018 at Hilton New Orleans/St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is radiologists, rheumatologists, emergency physicians, athletic trainers, sports medicine physicians, orthopedic physicians, sonographers, fellows/residents, others interested in improving their skills in MSK ultrasound imaging. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Learn about ultrasound principles and operation, including presentations of proper scanning techniques with a demonstration of those techniques. Along with a review of sonographic imaging of normal anatomy, there will be a review of pathology encountered followed by personal hands-on instruction in scanning. To complete the course, intervention techniques will be discussed and demonstrated with a hands-on lab. The combined 3-day program makes this an effective learning experience to improve the provider’s technical competency and patient outcome.

Educational Objectives :
At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
• Describe scanning techniques for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle.
• Recognize common pathological structures visualized in the joints studied.
• Demonstrate performance of ultrasound scanning protocols of joints on live models.
• Learn and perform interventional techniques assisted by ultrasound guidance.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
