MEETING DESCRIPTION:
Course Description
These courses are designed for physicians and allied health personnel. They will cover the applications of imaging techniques in the diagnosis of diseases of the brain, spine, musculoskeletal system and body. Lectures will emphasize image interpretation, differential diagnosis, a review of disease processes and new imaging techniques. Some interventional techniques will also be addressed.

Course Objectives
At the conclusion of each course the participants should be able to:

- Describe the applications of modern MRI imaging to solving clinical questions in the work-up of patients with many central nervous system, musculoskeletal, spine and abdominal-pelvic diseases
- Assess both the advantages and limitations of these techniques
- Be aware of alternative imaging choices
- Develop differential diagnoses based on magnetic resonance imaging and disease
- Demonstrate how to apply modern imaging to the performance of spine interventional procedures in radiology practice to alleviate spinal pain, treatment of osteoporotic and malignant fractures, biopsy, spinal lesions and treat vascular abnormalities of the spine
