Musculoskeletal MR — Commonly Imaged Joints

At the conclusion of this conference, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the normal appearances of important anatomic structures on MR imaging of the knee, shoulder, ankle/foot and hip
2. Identify abnormalities involving the menisci, cruciate ligaments, collateral ligaments, extensor mechanism and osteochondral structures on MR imaging of the knee
3. Recognize important MR imaging features of rotator cuff tears, glenoid labral injuries and their clinical implications
4. Detect common abnormalities of frequently injured tendons, ligaments and osteochondral structures on MR imaging of the ankle/foot
5. Recognize important imaging features of avascular necrosis, labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and traumatic injuries on MR of the hip

Attendees who complete a minimum of 100 cases will be awarded a Certificate of Proficiency stating they meet the Maintenance of Competence case requirement as specified in the ACR Practice Guidelines for the Performance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the knee, shoulder, ankle and hindfoot, and hip and pelvis for musculoskeletal disorders.
