A beginner’s course for healthcare professionals interested in interpreting musculoskeletal MRI.

Accreditation:
 
Provides 6 CPD credits in accordance with the CPD Scheme of the Royal College of Radiologists.
 
Aim:

To provide participants with a practical, stimulating, step by step guide on interpretation of musculoskeletal MRI:

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the course, the attendee will have:

- An understanding of MR anatomy and appearance of most common pathology of knee, shoulder and lumbar spine;
 
- An appreciation of a step by step approach to interpreting MSK MR;

- Greater confidence reading MSK MRI; and
 
- Identified any knowledge gaps relevant to his/her practice, and ways by which these can be addressed.

Highlights:

-   Taught by a practicing consultant radiologist with extensive experience in MSK MRI interpretation and teaching

-   Focuses on concepts someone new to MSK MRI interpretation may find challenging
