Course overview
This interactive course is designed to take you through a robust way of tackling the head CT scan which you can immediately apply in your clinical work. We will cover the essential anatomy to interpret the images, but any prior reading will augment your learning.
The focus of the teaching is to go through a large volume of scans and build your knowledge bank of normal and the various acute pathologies. We will teach the various ways of distinguishing the different types of abnormalities in a methodical way which can often mimic other pathologies.
Booking: https://radiologyseminars.co.uk - Limited spaces, the last course was fully booked many weeks in advance.

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:

-    cased based;

-    assumes little or no prior experience in MSK MRI; and

-    covers most commonly performed MSK MRI studies: knee, shoulder and lumbar spine.

Target audience:
 
Pitched at a level suitable for radiology registrars, radiographers and orthopaedic registrars with an interest in interpreting musculoskeletal MRI in their clinical practice.

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

-   Case based and hence relevant to day to day practice

-    Covers most common pathology enabling attendees to make a start interpreting musculoskeletal MRI

-    Limited number of delegates to facilitate interactivity

“would send all of our MRI staff on this course and exam to re-enforce their knowledge and application of the theory to real patients”
"no amount of reading could have taught me what Kanal did”
“it was absolutely amazing and incredibly insightful”
“self-funded but nonetheless I would do this experience over and over again. The knowledge I gained out of it was truly invaluable”
“fantastic experience, great venue, amazing speaker"
“never before did I have a true understanding of the distinct energies in MRI and the associated risks of each”
“I've done MRI for over 20 years and it has completely altered how I look at safety”
