SBMCH and AIRP MSK Categorical Course BALRAD 2017

Course Description

The course is designed to illustrate basic and advanced concepts

and radiologic-pathologic correlation in Musculoskeletal

Imaging in order to enhance practitioner knowledge and skills.

Lack of understanding of the underlying pathology can lead

to misinterpretation of radiologic images and the potential to

overlook important complications such a neoplastic recurrence.

The need for radiologic pathologic correlation is considered

so important by the radiology community that the ACGME

requires radiologic correlation as part of the training of radiology

residents.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify imaging characteristics of lesions involving the

musculoskeletal system that allow for narrowing of the

differential diagnosis

• Illustrate how the underlying pathology of the lesion

contributes to its imaging characteristics
