UCSF Neuro & Musculoskeletal Imaging 2018
In-Person Event
Feb 11 - 16, 2018
Kailua Kona, Hawaii, USASpeakers
OVERVIEW
UCSF Neuro & Musculoskeletal Imaging is organized by The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Office of Continuing Medical Education and will be held during Feb 11 - 16, 2018 at The Fairmont Orchid, Kailua Kona, Hawaii, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 25.25 CME Credits.
Course Outline :
This course will present a comprehensive state-of-the-art update on clinically relevant topics in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging, including a discussion of optimized protocols with 1.5T and 3T MR units.
Neuroradiology topics to be addressed include updated strategies for imaging of the peripheral nervous system, stroke and other neurologic emergencies, and routine head & neck abnormalities.
Musculoskeletal imaging will include discussions of new metal reduction sequences for MRI, and diagnostic approaches to wrist pain.
Course Objectives :
At the completion of this course, the attendee should be able to:
• Apply their acquired knowledge to improve imaging protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve and musculoskeletal CT/MR imaging;
• Recognize specific imaging features of infection and tumors in the head, neck, spine and peripheral nerves;
• Distinguish between normal anatomy, common anatomic variants and pathological disorders related to MRI of the major musculoskeletal joints, brain, head, neck and spine;
• Recognize internal derangement appearances of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and foot;
• Implement newer MR sequences such as 3D volumetric imaging and metal suppression techniques;
• Update knowledge about MR arthrographic technique and findings;
• Sharpen evaluation of muscle and tendon abnormalities;
• Identify important imaging characteristics of bone tumors;
• Realize various abnormalities that simulate musculoskeletal tumors;
• Appreciate advances in stroke management and their impact on imaging;
• Develop strategies for evaluating common and uncommon abnormalities in the neck and spine.
Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available
