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.
