2018 Musculoskeletal MR and Ultrasound Imaging Course

Musculoskeletal MR and Ultrasound Imaging Course are organized by University of British Columbia (UBC) - Department of Radiology and will be held during Mar 03 - 06, 2018 at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.

The target audience for this medical event is General radiologists involved in protocolling, imaging and assessment of Musculoskeletal injuries and disease.

Conference Description :
The Program is a four-day conference to serve to review and update current information on clinical MR and ultrasound imaging evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders with an emphasis on bone, muscle and soft-tissues. The role of imaging in the evaluation of specific patterns of sports-related musculoskeletal injury will be reviewed. Clinical-Radiologic Correlation of MSK abnormalities will be discussed.

Conference Objectives are :
At the completion of the course the participant should be able to:
• Assess the technical requirements of MRI and Ultrasound to optimally assess patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
• Diagnose normal antimony, common variants and imaging pitfalls in the MR and Ultrasonographic imaging assessment of major joints.
• Identify common forms of pathology involving the musculoskeletal system, their pathophysiology, implications for clinical management and imaging strategies in their staging and evaluation.
• Comprehend the role and potential benefits/limitations of MR and ultrasound imaging in diagnosis and assessment of the musculoskeletal system.
• Hands-on Ultrasound Course: Identify and institute key strategies in ultrasound image optimization in evaluation of the MSK system in normal subjects, and successfully identify key structures in live scanning.

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