NYU Langone Advanced Imaging of the Musculoskeletal System: Up Your Game

This comprehensive and intensive series of online CME lectures covers major topics in musculoskeletal imaging, including common sports injuries, bone tumors, arthritis, and cartilage imaging, pediatric imaging, and AI. Stay up-to-date with the latest advances in MR, CT, and US and enhance your skills with continuing medical education.

Learning Objectives

• Determine how to modify imaging techniques and protocols for all areas of Musculoskeletal MRI, including hip, knee, shoulder, and foot, for improved therapeutic decision making.
• Develop a working differential for tumors of both bone and soft tissues and recognize when additional imaging or tissue sampling is warranted.
• Evaluate the value of imaging in guiding diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory arthritides and common musculoskeletal infections.
• Describe techniques that can be utilized to improve MR imaging in the presence of hardware, as well as major areas of pathology that can be diagnosed post-hip, knee, or shoulder arthroplasty.
