MSK Whistler Course 2024

MSK Whistler Course 2024 is organized by The University of British Columbia (UBC) - Department of Radiology and will be held from Feb 24 - 27, 2024 at Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.

Course 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.

Overall Goals And Objectives
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 the diagnosis and assessment of the musculoskeletal system.
• Hands-on Ultrasound Course: Identify and institute key strategies in ultrasound image optimization in the evaluation of the MSK system in normal subjects, and successfully identify
