GALEN ADVANCED Course Education in partnership
Course information The course is aimed at senior residents, board-certified radiologists and fellows and is designed to advance the knowledge of an array of indications for musculoskeletal multimodality imaging. Didactic lectures combined with interactive case-based discussion will highlight common pathologies and imaging pitfalls in the diagnosis of joint, bone, limb nerve and soft tissue disorders. International renowned European experts will ensure a high-quality teaching programme. Learning objectives to learn about the state-of-the-art imaging of selected MSK disorders to learn the basics of various common and uncommon diseases, with emphasis on the best imaging method for individual clinical scenarios to appreciate the clinical impact of multimodality imaging to multidisciplinary patient management

Learning Objectives New CT tools in MSK imaging A. Blum, Nancy/FR to know the principles and the application of dualenergy in MSK to know the principles of Metal Artifact Reduction to know the principles of dynamic CT scan for joint evaluation What to know about congenital bone diseases F. Vanhoenacker, Antwerp/BE to provide an easy and systematic analysis system for radiological identification of syndromes, dysplasia and other hereditary musculoskeletal disorders to illustrate the different signs that may be useful in the imaging diagnosis to make the radiologist familiar with the most prevalent hereditary musculoskeletal disorders to help to select those patients that may benefit from further genetic counselling Imaging of the upper limb nerves C. Martinoli, Genoa/IT to familiarise with US and MR imaging appearance of nerves and the scanning techniques used to image them in the upper extremity to emphasise the US anatomy of upper limb nerves at the most common sites of entrapment to describe typical US and MR imaging findings of the most common pathologic conditions affecting them to outline the range of clinical conditions where imaging is appropriate for nerve assessment to highlight the pros and cons and potential pitfalls of US and MR imaging in this field MR imaging of soft tissue tumours A. Saifuddin, Stanmore/UK to describe the basic MRI techniques for imaging soft tissue tumours to describe the features of common non-neoplastic, benign and malignant lesions to discuss the role of MRI biopsy planning and local staging MR imaging of shoulder instability R. Sutter, Zurich/CH to know about the epidemiology of shoulder instability to know how to best assess patients with shoulder instability with MRI to reliably detect soft tissue damage associated with shoulder instability to assess glenoid bone loss and other risk factors for recurrent shoulder instability Imaging of the wrist injuries: tips and tricks M. Maas, Amsterdam/NL to enhance structured reading of acute trauma in wrist radiography to illustrate features of frequently encountered overuse injury of the wrist to enlighten the beauty of complex joints to stress that clinical and radiological expertise combined is synergetic
Learning Objectives Hip osteoarthritis in young adults: imaging investigation A. Karantanas, Heraklion/GR to learn how early hip osteoarthritis (OA) is defined on plain films and MR imaging to understand how to explore on imaging clinically occult congenital or acquired disorders which may cause early hip OA to become familiar with early hip OA-related disorders such as femoroacetabular impingement, developmental dysplasia, avascular necrosis, labral tears and traumatic and insufficiency fractures Rheumatoid arthritis: what do MRI and US show J. Teh, Oxford/UK to understand the important role of MRI and US in the early diagnosis of synovitis before irreversible damage occurs to learn how MRI and US help in the assessment of the extent of inflammation and structural changes to analyse the role of MRI and US in assessing therapeutic response to understand the role of US in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis Multimodality imaging of bone marrow K. Verstraete, Ghent/BE to describe the typical features of normal bone marrow to determine origin of bone marrow changes to present the imaging characteristics of a bone marrow disease on different types of imaging techniques
