OVERVIEW

The ISMRM is pleased to again present a series of CME courses intended for radiologists and other medical professionals who are interested in increasing their clinical knowledge for interpretation of MR imaging of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems and body while earning CME credit.

We have added important new focused courses to a select group of our excellent regular didactic courses from the ISMRM meeting. Attendees can move freely among sessions to sample different topics if they wish.

Through a series of lectures, panels, case reviews, and interactions with the faculty, attendees will be updated on practical and state-of-the–art aspects of MR imaging including anatomy, pathology, technical factors and innovations. Case-based teaching and interactive teaching will be featured in some of these sessions.

Registrants may also attend ISMRM Annual Meeting lectures on hot topics in MRI such as body diffusion imaging, and application of the newest hardware, coils and sequences in the field. There will be time to review scientific posters and to attend the wide array of other sessions of the main ISMRM meeting.

 

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of these body, neuro and MSK courses, participants should be able to:

Implement optimized protocols for musculoskeletal and body imaging;
Describe anatomy, normal variants and pitfalls in MR images of the musculoskeletal system and the body;
Diagnose abnormalities on MR images of the musculoskeletal system and body;
Implement recent updates in the field of MRI;
Describe current MR approaches for a variety of abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system and the body;
Describe the main issues related to basic clinical neuroradiology;
Evaluate new techniques within the field of neuroradiology that can be implemented in clinical daily practice; and
Select and implement appropriate ideas to optimize their practice.
