UCSF Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging: Stay Current with the Latest Developments

Stay abreast of the latest developments and trends in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging with this comprehensive clinical update from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). This inclusive course provides a state-of-the-art update on clinically relevant topics in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging, helping you to better:

• Revamp imaging protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve, and musculoskeletal imaging
• Understand the parameters of MR arthrographic technique and interpretation of findings
• Develop strategies to create short brain, spine, and neck differentials
• Implement newer MR sequences like 3D volumetric imaging and metal suppression techniques
• Understand advances in stroke management and its effect on imaging
• Outline strategies to evaluate common and uncommon abnormalities in the neck and spine

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants will be able to:

• Update and improve imaging protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve, and musculoskeletal 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
• Implement newer MR sequences like 3D volumetric imaging and metal suppression techniques
• Understand the parameters of MR arthrographic technique and interpretation of findings
• Sharpen evaluation of muscle and tendon abnormalities, and evaluate various abnormalities that simulate musculoskeletal tumors
• Develop strategies for creating short brain, spine, and neck differentials
• Understand advances in stroke management and its impact on imaging
• Develop strategies for evaluating common and uncommon abnormalities in the neck and spine

This educational activity is intended for radiologists, neurologists, orthopaedists, and other medical professionals who will benefit from a greater understanding of neuro and musculoskeletal imaging.
