The meeting at the Wynn Las Vegas begins with registration from 12:45 - 1:45 PM on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Formal lectures will occupy each day. Question and answer sessions complement the teaching program and provide for interaction between registrants and the faculty.

This symposium provides a practical, comprehensive review of the important aspects of clinical musculoskeletal MRI. Physicians and technologists practicing musculoskeletal MRI should gain information on the expanding role of MRI in addition to safe and efficient scanning protocols. A special non-accredited segment of the program focuses on equipment comparisons and capabilities. Those registrants planning to purchase MRI equipment should find this Wednesday morning session particularly valuable as companies discuss their present capabilities and their plans for the future.

This CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate those physicians who supervise and interpret musculoskeletal MRI studies. It should be particularly helpful for radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. In addition, this CME activity should also be useful for referring physicians who order these studies so that they might gain a greater appreciation of the strengths and limitations of clinically relevant musculoskeletal MRI studies.

Attendees should, at the completion of this course, be able to:

• Recognize the MRI appearance of normal musculoskeletal anatomy and common pathology
• Utilize MRI to evaluate patients with actual or suspected musculoskeletal pathology
• Discuss the clinical indications and pitfalls of ankle, wrist and digital MRI
• Effectively assess sports related musculoskeletal injuries using MRI
• Incorporate into clinical practice imaging protocols to evaluate the elbow and hip

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.

This program is planned and organized by Educational Symposia, the leader in diagnostic imaging education since 1975.

A list of industry supporters was not available at time of printing. This information will be provided and acknowledged at the meeting.
