The Spine Imaging Course is a 1-day virtual course that aims to provide a systematic approach to the diagnosis and management of spine diseases, using a case-based approach. This way of delivering content has proven to be highly effective and it is very well received by meeting participants. Of note, the course would have both musculoskeletal and neuroradiology experts delivering high-quality subspecialty content, with emphasis in pearls and take-home messages that the attendees can put into practice as soon as they return to their practices. Community respirologists and radiologists will be offered a unique opportunity to interact with the speakers and participate in a comprehensive discussion of current guidelines for diagnosis and management of spine disorders. 

Program Learning Objectives:

 1.    To describe a systematic approach for the interpretation of CT and MRI of the spine from an MSK and  Neuroradiology perspective.

2.    To recognize the key imaging findings of common and infrequent diseases of the spine and to discuss the differential diagnoses.

3.    To integrate radiological and clinical finding that allow a specific diagnosis  

We are working on the details for this course. It will be held virtually!

Expecting registration to open late October!
