Thursday, 12 May 2022

ICC Capital Suite 7 & 12

08:00 - 09:00

Moderators: James Pipe

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Session Number: S-Th-04

Session Number: S-Th-04

Overview
The Sunrise Sessions for MSK will present the latest techniques for evolving areas of clinical applications for MSK MRI. The topics presented will include MR Imaging in the Presence of Metal, Optimal MR Imaging for MSK Tumors, UTE/ZTE for MSK Applications and Value-Based MSK MR Imaging. Each subsection will include paired technical and clinical talks with emphasis on clinical translation of the most up to date techniques for MSK MR.

Target Audience
Clinicians, physicists, engineers, and trainees.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain techniques and applications of MSK MRI in the presence of metal, including advanced technical and clinical approaches to patients with metallic implants;
- Dissect the definition of "value-based" MRI for MSK applications including pitfalls and opportunities for optimizing imaging;
- Describe evolving uses for ZTE/UTE for MSK MRI and how to translate these techniques to clinical practice; and
- List novel options for MR imaging for MSK tumors, including quantitative techniques such as perfusion and diffusion.

	08:00		Value-Based MRI for Musculoskeletal Applications: Technical Considerations View the Presentation Soterios Gyftopoulos MRI is a highly utilized imaging modality for the diagnosis of a wide spectrum of pathologies. But how does it add value to patient care in today’s healthcare environment? During this lecture, we will describe how to properly define value in terms of imaging. We will see how MRI is a cost-effective tool for the diagnosis of important musculoskeletal pathologies. We will appreciate how shortened MRI protocols greatly improve patient experience and comfort. Finally, we will see how MRI reduces the need for other types of imaging during the work-up of common musculoskeletal conditions.
	08:30		Value-Based MRI for Musculoskeletal Applications: Clinical Considerations View the Presentation Garry Gold Advances in MRI technology have enabled improvements in the Value-based MRI for Musculoskeletal Application. We will discuss technology improvements and ways that these changes can enable more value to be created from an MRI examination of the musculoskeletal system.
