A world-class team of musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologists designed an excellent teaching and learning tool for general diagnostic radiologists, residents, and subspecialists. Review 50 self-assessment questions with detailed explanations of the images, correct answers, and incorrect answers. This self-assessment module includes:

  • MSK case topics relevant to community and academic settings, ranging from commonly encountered sports and traumatic injuries, arthritic, inflammatory, and infectious conditions as well as tumor and tumor-like conditions, metabolic disorders, and post-surgical and hardware complications.
  • Over 235 multi-modality images using radiography, MRI, CT, and US.
  • Practical questions on developmental variants, MRI artifacts, TMJ dysfunction, and the use of ACR Appropriateness Criteria in MSK imaging.

Objectives:

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • Describe how to assess and manage a variety of hypothetical clinical situations related to musculoskeletal radiology.
  • Identify image findings and exercise independent medical judgment based on the images and/or facts provided concerning musculoskeletal radiology.
  • Cite clinical and imaging principles relevant to the cases encountered and topics discussed in the practice of musculoskeletal radiology.
  • Review clinical practice strategies based on the practitioner’s self-assessment in the area of musculoskeletal radiology.
