Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging

University of California, San Francisco, Department of Radiology
Course Directors: William P. Dillon, MD and Thomas M. Link, MD

Learning the various fundamentals of neuro and musculoskeletal imaging, this program focuses on an array of imaging techniques emphasizing on magnetic resonance imaging, multi-detector CT applications, and PET/CT applications to head and neck oncology. Participants should gain familiarity of up-to-date imaging protocols, as well as, imaging pitfalls.

Learning Objectives


At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
  • Apply methods to optimize imaging of the musculoskeletal system
  • Describe normal anatomy and pathology related to:
    • MRI of the knee (including menisci and ligaments)
    • MRI of the joints (hip, ankle, foot, elbow, wrist and digits)
    • MRI of the shoulder (rotator cuff, shoulder instability, SLAP lesions and other shoulder pathology, including post-operative findings)
  • Compare the imaging appearances of normal and abnormal bone marrow processes in MRI
  • Characterize and stage bone and soft tissue tumors using MRI
  • Use MRI to evaluate cartilage and osteochondral disease
  • Optimize CT protocols for multi-detector imaging of stroke
  • Characterize head and neck imaging of benign and malignant diseases and cranial nerve anatomy and pathology
  • Better interpret vascular disorders of the CNS
  • Use the evidence-based approach to imaging patients with headache
  • Define management plans for spinal pain procedures
  • Approach perfusion imaging in stroke with emphasis on practical implementation and interpretation
