Available courses

Practical Orthopedic Imaging

 

This course provides a hands-on approach to musculoskeletal imaging, focusing on practical interpretation and measurement skills for orthopedic cases. Students will learn to:

  • Assess fractures, limb deformities, and congenital limb length discrepancies using X-ray and MRI.

  • Measure screw lengths, implant placement, and alignment accurately using digital tools.

  • Apply Cobb angle, canal stenosis evaluation, and disc herniation assessment in clinical scenarios.

  • Gain confidence in pre- and post-operative imaging analysis, including Ilizarov fixators and intramedullary nails.

By the end of the course, students will be able to perform precise measurements, identify key morphological features, and apply imaging findings directly to orthopedic planning and evaluation.

Exam

Fundamentals of Brain MRI Interpretation

  • Review the fundamental MRI sequences (T1, T2, FLAIR, DWI) and their appearance. Establish a baseline by identifying key anatomical structures on normal scans.

  • Learn the classic imaging characteristics of common and critical brain pathologies. Differentiate between acute, subacute, and chronic findings.

  • Develop a consistent search pattern for reviewing brain MRI studies to avoid common errors. Learn how to structure your review from scout images to final sequences.

  • Understand the key elements of a concise and clinically relevant neuroradiology report. Learn standardized terminology for describing findings effectively.

Advanced Stroke Imaging: Perfusion and DWI

  • Understand the principles behind Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and ADC maps. Explore the concepts of CT and MR perfusion, including CBV, CBF, and MTT.
  • Define the core and the penumbra in acute ischemic stroke. Learn how to identify mismatch between perfusion deficits and the DWI core to guide therapy.
  • Review a series of classic large vessel occlusion (LVO) cases. Practice identifying the site of occlusion and quantifying the mismatch to determine treatment eligibility.
  • Learn to recognize conditions that can mimic stroke on advanced imaging, such as seizures or hypoglycemia. Understand common artifacts and technical pitfalls.

Introduction to Spine Imaging

  • Review the detailed anatomy of the vertebral column, spinal cord, and nerve roots. Understand the standard MRI sequences used for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.

  • Learn to identify and grade disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and facet arthropathy. Correlate imaging findings with common clinical symptoms.

  • Recognize patterns of vertebral fractures and ligamentous injury. Learn to identify signs of spinal cord compression, edema, and hemorrhage.

  • Differentiate between common spinal tumors and infectious processes like discitis-osteomyelitis. Understand the critical role of contrast-enhanced MRI.

MRI of the Knee: Common Pathologies

  • Learn the MRI classification of meniscal tears and how to identify injuries to the ACL, PCL, and collateral ligaments. Review common mechanisms of injury.

  • Identify signs of chondromalacia, osteochondral defects, and osteoarthritis. Understand the basics of cartilage grading systems.

  • Interpret patterns of bone marrow edema to diagnose occult fractures, bone contusions, and stress reactions. Differentiate from other marrow-replacing processes.

  • Evaluate the extensor mechanism, popliteal fossa, and surrounding soft tissues. Identify common pathologies like tendon tears, bursitis, and cysts.

Shoulder Ultrasound Workshop

  • Master the standard dynamic ultrasound protocol for a complete shoulder examination. Confidently identify the rotator cuff tendons, biceps tendon, and surrounding structures.

  • Learn the sonographic signs of partial and full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Differentiate tendinosis from acute tendinitis.

  • Evaluate the long head of the biceps tendon for instability and pathology. Perform dynamic maneuvers to assess for subacromial impingement.

  • Work through a series of interactive cases covering a range of common shoulder pathologies. Solidify your diagnostic skills and reporting confidence.

Radiographic Interpretation of Arthritis

  • Learn the fundamental radiographic features of arthritis, including joint space narrowing, erosions, and bone proliferation. Understand the importance of distribution patterns.

  • Master the key differentiating features between the two most common forms of arthritis. Review classic radiographic examples in the hands, hips, and knees.

  • Recognize the imaging patterns of ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and reactive arthritis. Focus on sacroiliac joint and spinal findings.

  • Identify the characteristic radiographic signs of gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease. Learn to spot key findings that can clinch the diagnosis.
