Radiology
Sports Medicine Imaging State of the Art: A Collaborative Course for Radiologists and Sports Medicine Specialists

Target Audience

The target audience for this program will be radiologists both in academic and private practice seeking to increase their skills in musculoskeletal radiology as well as orthopaedists and physical medicine and rehabilitation practitioners interested in learning how imaging can best be incorporated into their practice. This course is also appropriate for trainees in the same areas.

Course Purpose

The Sports Medicine Imaging State of the Art course offers a comprehensive and intensive 3 day program in musculoskeletal radiology. There has been tremendous growth in the field of radiology and in the area of musculoskeletal imaging in particular, making it mandatory for radiologists, both in academic and private practice settings, to continually update their skills and complement their knowledge base. These advances have raised the bar for radiologists everywhere and changed the standard of care. Maintenance of certification also requires radiologists to stay current with new advances in the field.

With the growth of radiology and the increasing importance it plays both in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the musculoskeletal system it has also become imperative for practicing orthopedists and practitioners of physical medicine and rehabilitation to have a basic understanding of imaging and how it can best be used in service of the patient.

Course Description

This program will offer a unique and innovative program in sports related injuries which is organized by body part and includes a review of relevant anatomy in each area. We will incorporate both anatomic dissections by respected members of the NYU orthopedic faculty as well as high level imaging performed on our state of the art facilities and described by the dedicated musculoskeletal radiology faculty. A discussion of relevant sports related pathology will then ensue including the orthopedists perspective on how imaging is best incorporated in their everyday practice and decision making. All of the major joints will be covered in this comprehensive fashion with additional sessions dedicated to the latest technical advances in musculoskeletal MRI in general and in the imaging of articular cartilage in particular. Other current and relevant topics to be covered will include femoroacetabular impingement in the young adult, the post-operative patient, athletic pubalgia/sports hernias and sports related spine injuries.
