Comprehensive Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging Update for Clinical Excellence

Introduction

Elevate your imaging knowledge with UCSF’s comprehensive clinical update in neuro and musculoskeletal imaging. This immersive program provides valuable CME credit while exploring advanced strategies, case studies, and the latest imaging techniques in these specialized fields.

Key Imaging Topics in Focus

• Neurology: Delve into cutting-edge imaging approaches for stroke, neurologic emergencies, and routine head and neck abnormalities.
• Musculoskeletal: Enhance your imaging skills in areas such as knee and wrist pain diagnosis, bone tumor detection, and orthopedic interposition injuries.

Interactive Case-Based Learning

Engage with renowned experts through interactive case-based lectures. These case discussions showcase the latest imaging protocols, techniques, and clinical applications.

Expert Faculty:

• Robert D. Boutin, MD: Expertise in muscle and tendon disorders, orthopedic interposition injuries, and MRI of the hip, knee, wrist, and hand.
• Matthew D. Bucknor, MD: Specialized in imaging of bone tumors, femoroacetabular impingement, and elbow injuries in athletes.
• Christine M. Glastonbury, MBBS: Renowned for her insights into neck and spine imaging, including cervical lymph nodes, sinonasal inflammation, and cranial neuropathies.
• Christopher P. Hess, MD, PhD: Provides a comprehensive overview of CNS emergencies, infection, stroke imaging, and expert neuroanatomy.
• Vinil N. Shah, MD: Delves into imaging evaluation of sciatic neuropathy, practical brachial plexus MRI, and value-based imaging in the degenerative spine.
• Lynne S. Steinbach, MD: Explores MRI techniques for knee menisci, MR arthrography, shoulder instability, and musculoskeletal pseudo-tumors.

Learning Objectives for Clinicians

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants will:

• Refine imaging protocols for optimized head, neck, spine, nerve, and musculoskeletal CT/MR examinations.
• Identify specific imaging signatures of infection and tumors in various anatomical regions.
• Differentiate between normal anatomy, common variants, and pathological conditions in major musculoskeletal joints and neuroanatomical structures.
• Recognize internal derangement appearances in the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, and foot.
• Leverage advanced MR techniques such as 3D volumetric imaging and metal suppression.
• Enhance their
