MSK MR Specialized

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 elbow, wrist and hand.
2. Identify abnormalities involving the collateral ligaments, biceps tendon, epicondyles and osteochondral structures about the elbow.
3. Detect common abnormalities involving the wrist and hand including tears of the triangular fibrocartilage, scapholunate ligament, lunotriquetral ligament, ulnar collateral ligament, scaphoid fractures and to evaluate the imaging features of inflammatory arthritis.
4. Recognize the important features of diagnosis and staging of bone and soft tissue tumors.
5. Recognize the radiologic features of joint arthroplasty complications.
6. Detect common sports injuries unique to pediatric patients and additional frequent tendon and muscle traumatic lesions on MR imaging.
7. Provide an imaging approach to detect and characterize marrow abnormalities and musculoskeletal infection.

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 elbow and wrist.
