Join Dr Donald Resnick and colleagues in this 4-part, in-depth musculoskeletal radiology series on MR imaging and assessment of synovial joints.

This series of MSK lectures and case reviews will provide radiologists with a practical overview of the use of MR imaging and MR arthrography in the assessment of synovial joints with a focus on the most common articular disorders and those internal derangements that are encountered daily in clinical practice.

You will get an in-depth understanding of the various types of human articulations and, with regard to synovial joints, the many diverse structures contained within them. Additionally, Dr. Resnick and his co-presenters will walk through effective search patterns and how to distinguish between normal variations and pathologic abnormalities.

Topics covered in this course: 

• Anatomy and suggested terminology 
• Common disorders and internal derangements 
• Functional classification vs structural classification
• Fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, and synovial joints 
• Cartilage, subchondral bone, menisci, discs, labra, and fat pads
• Supporting structures including tendons / ligaments and sesamoid bones and ossicles
• Synovial fluid, synovitis, hemarthrosis, lipohemarthrosis, and synovial / ganglion cysts
• Synovial plica
• …and more!
