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.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Accurately assess MR images in patients with articular disorders and internal derangements
  • Describe the anatomic features of human articulations, the structures contained within them, and the abnormalities associated with specific articular disorders
  • Detail diagnostic findings and differential diagnostic considerations for a wide variety of particular disorders, especially in synovial joints, that are encountered daily in clinical practices employing MR imaging
  • Accurately identify and communicate those findings that require the immediate attention of the referring physician
  • Recommend the appropriate application of standard MR imaging and MR arthrography to the assessment of common and uncommon disorders and derangements of synovial joints
