The course fee is 1300 EUR per participant (tax, lodging and food included). OBJECTIVES To learn basic normal musculoskeletal ultrasonographic anatomy (MSUS) To learn basic pathological MSUS findings To learn the systematic standardized sonographic scanning method of each anatomical region Applications, indications and limitations of MSUS in rheumatology Image documentation Basics of Colour and Power Doppler application to detect synovial and entheseal inflammation MAIN TOPICS Ultrasound physics and technology, technical characteristics of ultrasound equipments in rheumatology, applications, indications and limitations of MSUS MSUS anatomy, artefacts and misinterpretation in MSUS Standardized sonographic scanning method of each anatomical region (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand,

4 hip, knee, ankle and foot) according to EULAR guidelines Basic pathological sonographic findings (tendinosis, tenosynovitis, partial and complete tendon tear, enthesopathy, bursitis, calcifications, articular cartilage lesions, cortical abnormalities and joint synovitis). Reporting US findings and diagnosis LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS To demonstrate standard scans according to EULAR guidelines To discuss common artefacts and pitfalls WORKSHOPS Practical handling of the ultrasound system settings Supervised identification of musculoskeletal sonoanatomy Supervised standardized sonographic scanning of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot Supervised hands-on scanning of patients with basic musculoskeletal lesions Supervised assessment of the basic sonographic symptoms or inflammation severity in grades REQUIREMENTS OF ATTENDEES There is no experience in musculoskeletal sonography required to attend the basic level ultrasound course This course is scientifically endorsed by:
