Course Overview
This 2 day live online course provides practical guidance on protocoling and interpreting complex musculoskeletal MRI in older children and adolescents, with a focus on sports injuries. Unlike, traditional MSK imaging courses, which often emphasize pathology rarely encountered in the pediatric population, this course is specifically tailored to the education needs of pediatric radiologists.
Musculoskeletal MR in older children and adolescent patients presents unique challenges that are distinct from both pediatric and adult imaging. The developing skeleton, open growth plates and age specific injury patterns require specialized approach to imaging technique and interpretation. This course offers an in-depth, case based exploration of the most clinically relevant topics in adolescent MSK MRI.
Technical Requirements
This live online course will be delivered using the Zoom Meeting platform which will be accessed through the SPR Online Education Center - XPress. Zoom meeting access, activity evaluation and credit claiming will all be available within the SPR 2026 MSK Imaging Course product available within XPress prior to the start of the Course.
