GLOBAL MSK COURSE — GLOBAL HANDS-ON MUSCULOSKELETAL MRI & ULTRASOUND MINI FELLOWSHIP COURSE FOR RADIOLOGISTS

Focus will be on how we really solve problems in patients with MSK symptoms using one or other modality or both MSK MRI and Ultrasound. Participants will be taught which modality is better for which indication for accuracy of diagnosis. For example, it is far more accurate to use ultrasound for detection of ankle tendon and ligament tears than MRI as thesestructures are very small on MRI and often not clearly visualised in the 3mm slices but seen very well on ultrasound and function can be tested with dynamic manoeuvres. Emphasis will be on how to grade residual function of a ligament which is what the Orthopaedic surgeon wants to know and also tendon pathology.
