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

Summary: Musculoskeletal Imaging CME Program

Format:

• 59 Videos
• 2 PDFs
• Total Size: Several GB

Description:

This comprehensive CME series, titled Musculoskeletal Imaging CME: State-of-the-Art Updates, is designed for radiologists and musculoskeletal radiology physicians. It covers the latest advances in imaging techniques (MR, CT, US) and addresses diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for a wide array of musculoskeletal conditions, including sports injuries, tumors, arthritis, pediatric imaging, and AI applications.

Release and Duration:

• Original Release Date: July 15, 2023
• Estimated Completion Time: 21.25 hours

Learning Objectives:

1. Enhance therapeutic decision-making by modifying imaging protocols across musculoskeletal MRI applications.
2. Develop differentials for bone and soft tissue tumors and determine when additional imaging or biopsies are necessary.
3. Utilize imaging for diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory arthritides, infections, and post-surgical evaluations.
4. Apply techniques to improve MR imaging in the presence of hardware and understand pathology in joint arthroplasty cases.

Target Audience:

• Radiologists (academic and private practice)
• Orthopedists
• Physical medicine and rehabilitation practitioners

Topics Covered:

Shoulder

• Rotator cuff pathologies, labrum injuries, postoperative imaging techniques.

Elbow, Wrist, and Hand

• Sports injuries, fractures, ultrasound techniques, and pediatric imaging.

Hip

• Femoroacetabular impingement, tendon injuries, postoperative imaging, and athlete-specific conditions.

Knee

• Injury patterns, cartilage imaging, meniscal and cruciate evaluations, and cystic pathologies.

Ankle and Foot

• Instability, osteochondral injuries, heel pain, and tendon pathologies.

Tumors

• Bone and soft tissue tumors, biopsy techniques, and image-guided ablations.

Scroll with the Experts

• Case-based interactive sessions on knee, shoulder, pelvis, elbow, and foot imaging.

Muscles and Tendons

• Muscle injuries, tendon pathologies, and imaging for return-to-play scenarios.

Spine

• Trauma patterns, discitis, sacral pathologies, and spinal cord imaging.

Arthritis and Infection

• Arthritis diagnosis, spondyloarthropathy imaging, rheumatology perspectives, and diabetic foot evaluation.

AI and Metal Imaging
