State-of-the-Art Radiology CME Insights

UCSF Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging is a comprehensive, online video CME update of clinically relevant topics in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging, including a discussion of optimized protocols and review of indications commonly seen in general practice.

Continuing medical education lectures focus on boosting diagnostic confidence and improving communication when referring cases to clinicians and specialists. Key topics include:

• Neuroradiologic emergencies in adult and pediatric patients
• Head and neck masses, mimics, and post-treatment changes
• Headache evaluation, cranial nerve imaging, and skull base lesions
• Neonatal brain development, injury, and autoimmune disease
• Spine imaging, inflammatory lesions, tumors, and reporting strategies
• Musculoskeletal joint imaging, injuries, and internal derangements
• Arthritis, metabolic bone disease, and infection imaging
• Musculoskeletal ultrasound applications as a problem-solving tool

Accreditation

Accreditation

In support of improving patient care, the University of California, San Francisco is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

• Recommend Ct/MR protocols for brain, head & neck, spine, nerve, and musculoskeletal imaging
• Recognize critical imaging features to distinguish head & neck masses and recognize common mimics and complications of treatment
• Distinguish important sella and parasellar pathologies, skull base lesions and important differentials for patients presenting with headaches
• Interpret internal derangements and common pitfalls of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle, and spine imaging
• Implement utilization of diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, including its utility as a problem solver in challenging cases
• Identify important imaging characteristics of infectious, metabolic, and inflammatory arthropathies of bone
• Understand the role of imaging in neonatal brain injury, intracranial pressure disorders and autoimmune brain disease to best assist clinicians with patient care
• Develop strategies for accurately imaging and interpreting common spine and spinal cord pathologies and evaluating post-operative spine scans

Intended Audience

This course is targeted toward radiologists and other medical professionals who will benefit from an increased understanding of neuro and musculoskeletal imaging methods, interpretation and diagnosis.
