What to expect

This course is aimed at last-year residents and board-certified radiologists interested in musculoskeletal imaging. This intense one-day program is articulated on imaging strategies for the musculoskeletal system, with emphasis in diagnostic issues and pitfalls, and impact of imaging on patient management. It is designed to update knowledge on the role of imaging modalities, focusing on bone and soft tissue tumors, on spinal diseases and image guided spinal intervention. In addition, there is a special focus on ultrasound guided intervention and ultrasound examinations of soft tissues and joints.

Renowned European experts ensure a high quality-teaching programme
combining theory and case presentations with an interactive character.
