UCSF Musculoskeletal MR Imaging 2014 Videos

The UCSF Musculoskeletal MR Imaging activity from the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the UCSF School of Medicine provides a thorough state-of-the-art update on many facets of musculoskeletal MRI. Assessment of cartilage lesions, emphasizing the most recent sequences that are available, is addressed. For these reasons, a differential diagnosis is provided along with a thorough evaluation of soft-tissue and bone cancers. A number of presentations cover relevant anatomy and pathology for each joint in addition to optimized methods for 1.5T and 3T MR imaging equipment. Useful information is focused on nerve entrapment, muscle and tendon diseases, and bone marrow.

The UCSF Musculoskeletal MR Imaging activity provides an extensive, up-to-date overview of the various facets of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging. Assessment of cartilage lesions, emphasizing the most recent sequences that are available, is addressed. For these reasons, a differential diagnosis is provided along with a thorough evaluation of soft-tissue and bone cancers. A number of presentations cover relevant anatomy and pathology for each joint in addition to optimized methods for 1.5T and 3T MR imaging equipment. Useful information is focused on nerve entrapment, muscle and tendon diseases, and bone marrow.

Diagnostic radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors, and MRI technologists who wish to develop their understanding of musculoskeletal MRI from a basic or intermediate level are the target audience for this activity.

Learning Goals
Following completion of this task, participants will be able to: Connect the dots between the orthopedic surgeon’s perspective and the results of MR imaging of the shoulder and knee.
Provide musculoskeletal imaging procedures that are optimized, particularly those that suppress metal hardware in patients undergoing joint replacements.
Determine the clinical relevance of any abnormalities found on an MRI of the joints, muscles, bone marrow, and cartilage.
Identify typical bone cancers using a relevant differential diagnosis
Recognize the anatomy of the elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle from MRI scans.
Suggest joint injections for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes based on imaging guidance.
Recognize the uses, precautions, and methods for radiofrequency ablation and bone biopsies.
