Learning Objectives
This course is intended for practicing radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and medical professionals such as nurses, radiologic technologists, physician's assistants, and scientists. It will review current techniques in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal radiology.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply diagnostic capabilities for MR Imaging of the knee and shoulder, including the pediatric knee and shoulder
- Implement current MRI techniques to image, diagnose, and treat osseous stress injuries
- Optimize MRI of the hip to identify and manage femoroacetabular impingement and other hip injuries
- Utilize MRI in return to sports decisions
- Evaluate new advances in interventional radiology for the application of minimally invasive therapies in sports and head/neck/spine injuries
- Implement the latest advances in imaging to assess and manage neural diseases, disorders and malformations, including arterial spin labeling and CTA
- Employ imaging techniques for the diagnosis and management of stroke, including CT and MR perfusion, ASL perfusion, and endovascular approaches
- Demonstrate imaging techniques of the skull base
- Evaluate white matter disorders and their imaging manifestations
- Analyze the technique of vertebroplasty and its role in treatment of spinal disorders
Statement of Need
The continuing medical education offered by this course is essential for physicians and other health care providers to stay current with changes in technology, diagnosis and treatment in key areas of neurologic and musculoskeletal disease. Advances in MRI have continued as new technology develops and clinical applications expand and mature. Parallel to the advances in MRI technology and clinical uses has been the move toward minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of disease. Sophisticated imaging is central to minimally invasive medical care, particularly in disorders of the central nervous system, where invasive techniques are associated with significant morbidity. The appropriate use of MRI has become more challenging, because many of the newer techniques are more complex, and because more detailed knowledge of disease and anatomy is required beyond what was sufficient in the past. Furthermore, MR imaging now permits excellent depiction of bone and joint disorders, giving clinicians much more detailed diagnoses than in the past. These details have helped refine practical anatomical and clinical knowledge of many of the disorders. In turn, increased clinical expectations feed back to diagnostic imaging, stimulating an appetite for more detail, more biomechanical insight, and higher expectations from the interpreting radiologist. This course is designed to provide practicing radiologists with essential skills to help them apply best practice.
Accreditation
The Stanford University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
