| OVERVIEW |
|
This four-hour course will discuss four clinically important
MSK abnormalities: low back pain, rotator cuff
abnormalities, wrist instability and internal derangements
of the knee, with two speakers per topic. The first speaker
will discuss MR abnormalities without or with limited
clinical relevance, such as disk protrusion, increased
signal within the supraspinatus tendon, minor perforations
of the central part of the interosseous ligaments and
increased signal limited to the substance of the menisci.
The second speaker will discuss unsolved problems and unmet
needs, which may include diagnosis of lumbar spine
instability, limited diagnostic performance in diagnosing
extrinsic ligaments of the wrist, determination of pennation
angles of rotator cuff muscles and differentiation of the
different structures of the posterolateral triangle of the
knee. |

| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Avoid over-diagnosis and over-treatment when
performing MR
imaging of the lumbar spine,
rotator cuff, wrist and knee;
- Describe the current developments potentially leading to
more precise diagnosis of
abnormalities in the lumbar spine, rotator cuff, wrist and
knee; and
- List 6 pitfalls which lead to over- or under-diagnosis in
the lumbar spine, rotator cuff,
wrist and knee.
