Musculoskeletal Imaging and Pathology
8 Hours ARRT Category A Credit
Paul F. Laudicina, MA, RT(R), BCFE, DABFE, FACFE
About this Seminar
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.
