2 Day Diagnostic Imaging Conference for Technologists
8 or 16 Hours Category A Credit
Paul F. Laudicina, MA, RT(R), BCFE, DABFE, FACFE
About these Seminars
Musculoskeletal Imaging and Pathology
CT and MRI are fast becoming the gold standard for imaging of bone tumors, cysts, and bone, joint, and soft tissue injuries. The challenges for technologists working in these modalities is increasing steadily. This seminar will present a greater understanding of various musculoskeletal disease states, the appearance of pathology, as well as traumatic injury to the bones and joints and the role of MRI, CT and other imaging techniques in diagnosis. An ability to recognize these pathological processes in diagnostic images will greatly enhance the effectiveness of MSK exams and provide useful insight to improve them.

Pathology and Diagnostic Imaging
Recognition of the pathological processes present in your images is key to ensuring a successful imaging exam. This seminar will review the pathology of major anatomical systems commonly presented in various diagnostic imaging examinations and help you recognize the difference between normal and abnormal structures. This knowledge will help you understand the disease processes presented by your patients and improve your effectiveness in contributing to the resulting diagnosis.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of the seminar,
Musculoskeletal Imaging and Pathology,
participants will be able to:

  • define certain as they appear in MR and CT images
  • identify disease processes and resulting lesions
  • identify specific imaging protocols to demonstrate pathology
  • describe the mechanism of fracture involving long bones, joints and bones of the vertebral column
  • describe the radiographic characteristics of five bone tumors
  • describe the complications of degenerative joint disease
  • describe three congenital malformations of the spine and spinal cord
  • describe the treatment and prognosis of bone diseases

At the completion of the seminar,
Pathology and Diagnostic Imaging,
participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate the more common pathologic conditions and identify their radiologic manifestations in each major body system.
  • Explain how optimal images of the body systems may be produced utilizing various imaging modalities.
  • Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the imaging modalities used to detect pathology in each major body system.
