Moderators: Andreas Weng

Skill Level: Basic to Advanced

Session Number: M-01

Overview
This course offers a broad overview of MSK tumor imaging. The session will include standard clinical MRI, advanced MRI techniques, and post-treatment MSK tumor imaging. Recent developments and clinical applications of PET/MRI will also be covered.

Target Audience
Scientists and clinicians interested in basic and advanced techniques for imaging tumors of the musculoskeletal system.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain clinical MRI of MSK tumors;
- Explain advanced MRI techniques for MSK tumors;
- Describe how PET/MRI is currently used and will be used in the future; and
- Discuss the challenges of post-treatment MSK tumor images.

		Clinical MRI of Musculoskeletal Tumors Shivani Ahlawat Watch the Video Benign and malignant musculoskeletal soft tissue and bone tumors are frequently encountered in a routine clinical radiology practice. Accurate characterization of these tumors is challenging but necessary to inform patient management decisions such as the need for histologic sampling versus observation. A systematic use of clinical, radiographic and MRI-based quantitative and qualitative data can characterize a subset of MSK soft tissue and bone tumors as determinate lesions. If an MSK soft tissue or bone tumor cannot be characterized as benign, the tumor should be reported as indeterminate and the patient should undergo biopsy and/or orthopedic oncology consultation to exclude malignancy.
