Musculoskeletal imaging: musculoskeletal trauma; bone & soft tissue neoplasms / tumours. Modules, lectures & learning objectives: Module 1: Musculoskeletal trauma Lecture 1: Imaging in musculoskeletal trauma List different imaging modalities used to assess musculo-skeletal injuries Explain the role of plain film radiography State when CT could be useful Explain the role of MR State when ultrasound & dynamic assessment could be useful Lecture 2: Imaging in spinal trauma State the role of imaging in assessing spinal fractures, ligaments & soft tissue injuries For different imaging modalities (plain films, CT & MR): Explain the pros & cons of each modality Discuss how a progression of modalities might be used for investigation State how to select the optimum modality in specific situations Lecture 3: Musculoskeletal injuries in major trauma List & identify common musculoskeletal injuries in patients with major trauma Describe the significance of certain musculo-skeletal injury patterns in major trauma patients Module 2: Bone & soft tissue neoplasms / tumours Lecture 1: Bone tumours List & identify imaging features which distinguish low-grade from aggressive bone lesions Explain imaging’s role in diagnosis & management Lecture 2: Soft tissue tumours List & identify imaging features which distinguish low-grade from aggressive soft tissue lesions Explain imaging’s role in diagnosis & management Lecture 3: Image guided intervention in bone & soft tissue tumours List & identify situations which require image-guided intervention in musculoskeletal tumours Explain image-guided intervention's role in diagnosis & management Project type: Educational package Imaging keywords: Musculoskeletal Imaging Magnetic resonance (MR) Computed tomography (CT) Plain film radiography Ultrasound Interpretation & evaluation Application / disease keywords: Musculoskeletal trauma Spinal trauma Bone tumours Soft tissue tumours Supervisor(s): Prof Andrew Farrall Programme: Imaging MSc Year: 19-20 This article was published on 2024-08-22
