Read full bio1. Fundamentals
Understand the fundamentals behind musculoskeletal radiology and imaging, including how X-Rays images are produced and the importance of proper anatomical knowledge in interpreting imaging. Fractures are examined – understand the different morphologies, language, and signs to identify fractures. Identify the various skeletal deformities that can be identified through radiology and imaging. Review other methods of imaging, such as fluoroscopy, bone scan, ultrasound, CT, MRI.
2. Spine
Learn about radiology and imaging in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines. Normal anatomy, trauma, and degenerative changes will be covered for each spinal region, as well as rules regarding when to order films. Low back pain, spinal infections, spinal neoplasms, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoporosis are highlighted.
3. Lower Extremity
Clinical radiology for the lower extremity is covered, including sections on the hip and pelvis, knee, as well as foot and ankle. Various imaging views of these regions and typical findings from each view will be presented, as well as information related to common disorders. Rules for when to order films for these body parts will be discussed.
4. Upper Extremity
The upper extremity is highlighted in this chapter – including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. Review the typical views that are used to capture images of these particular regions, and which landmarks to note when reviewing these films.
