Synovial Joints:
Common Disorders and
Internal Derangements

About This Course
Join Dr. Donald Resnick and colleagues in this 4-part, in-depth musculoskeletal radiology series on MR imaging and assessment of synovial joints.
This brand new series of MSK lectures from Dr. Resnick 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.
Course materials were developed from the Live Synovial Joints: Common Disorders and Internal Derangements Conference held March 24-27, 2022. Videos have been updated to include English and Portuguese subtitles.
