COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides a one of a kind, unique opportunity
to receive 18.0 hours of exclusive instruction from
Dr. David Stoller, the author of the preeminent textbooks
on orthopedic imaging, including:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopaedics and Sports
Medicine 3rd Edition
Diagnostic Imaging Orthopaedics
Pocket Radiologist Orthopaedics
MRI in Orthopaedics and Rheumatology
MRI, Arthroscopy, and Surgical Anatomy of the Joints
Stoller’s Atlas of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine
The Interactive Knee, Shoulder, Hip, Ankle, Foot and Wrist
CDs (Primal Pictures)
The Virtual Radiology Fellowship (online and DVDs)

COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of program, participants should be able to:
• Develop a shoulder checklist method including
interpretation techniques for the rotator cuff and
interval, biceps labral complex, inferior glenohumeral
ligament complex, and capsular structures including
the anterior band. Identify glenoid wear patterns in
multidirectional instability, microinstability, anterior and
posterior instability.
• Develop a knee checklist with foolproof ACL diagnosis
and techniques for prospective diagnosis of all types of
meniscal tears, differentiating circumferential surface
from cross sectional tear patterns. Introduce strategies
in the evaluation of the cruciate ligaments, posterolateral
instability, and articular cartilage.
• Develop a femoroacetabular impingement checklist
and distinguish between FAI and DDH pathology.
Discuss approaches for accurate acetabular-labral tear
identification. Introduce orthopedic articular cartilage
classification for the acetabular roof.
• Develop an ankle checklist including articulations,
ligaments, tendons and articular cartilage. Understand
all types of soft tissue ankle impingement and posterior
ligamentous and subtalar joint anatomy.
• Develop a wrist checklist with emphasis on the intrinsic
and extrinsic ligaments and the triangular fibrocartilage.
Understand the relevance of perilunate instability, SLAC
and triscaphe arthritis.
• Develop an elbow checklist with the ability to differentiate
epicondylitis from instability patterns and understand
posterolateral instability and the Circle of Horii.

TARGET AUDIENCE
• Board certified general radiologists and trainees
interested in musculoskeletal imaging
• Orthopedic Surgeons
• Radiology fellows in training
• Radiologist Assistants and MRI Technologists
• Practicing physicians in sports medicine and related
clinical subspecialties who desire to familiarize themselves
with the current role of imaging in patient evaluation
• Allied health care professionals who desire to have an
update on the state of current imaging as an aid to patient
management for diseases of the musculoskeletal system
