Description
The purpose of this session is to provide the practicing radiologist an experience in the technique and the interpretation of MR imaging of the knee, shoulder, ankle/foot, and hip. It is focused toward the non-musculoskeletal trained radiologist responsible for interpretation of these often complex examinations. Developed in conjunction with the ACR Education Center
™

- Describe how radiology practices/departments position themselves as a result of healthcare reform.Identify the normal appearances of important anatomic structures of MR imaging of the knee, shoulder, ankle/foot and hip.
- Identify abnormalities involving the menisci, cruciate ligaments, collateral ligaments, extensor mechanism and osteochondral structures of MR imaging of the knee.
- Recognize important MR imaging features of rotator cuff tears, glenoid labral injuries and their clinical implications.
- Detect common abnormalities of frequently injured tendons, ligaments and osteochondral structures on MR imaging of the ankle/foot.
