Educational Objectives
At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
-
Describe imaging techniques that can reduce scan time without decreasing image quality.
-
Describe how the infrastructure of MSK tissue provides a rationale for the development of a qualitative pulse sequence.
-
Be familiar with the normal appears of tendons under USD
-
Recognize the common MSK pathology seen on USD
-
Describe applications where dynamic USD is used in MSK imaging.

Hand masses are commonly encountered entities that often cause clinical and diagnostic dilemmas due to their nonspecific clinical presentation and overlapping imaging findings. This article systematically reviews the most commonly encountered hand masses in clinical practice in order to help the radiologist gain a structured diagnostic approach and familiarity with typical clinical presentations. Furthermore, this review will strengthen the radiologist’s ability to recognize pertinent MR imaging findings and gain knowledge of the underlying pathology on a cellular level.
Available for SA-CME Credit. To receive SA–CME credit, you must complete the post exam and review the discussion and references provided with the exam results.

Prostate MRI can be an effective tool in preventive as well as diagnostic and ongoing patient care for patients with statistical likelihood and/or risk factors predisposing them to the diagnosis of prostatic neoplasia. Used efficiently, MR contributes to early detection, accurate staging and localization, and reduction in unnecessary biopsies and treatment.
Skilled reporting provides allied health professionals with critical results to serve patients optimally, allocate resources effectively and improve treatment and surgical outcomes for their patients. This Expert Forum webcast will include a series of case reviews that incorporate and elucidate these concepts.
Following Dr. Pomeranz's presentation questions from the audience were addressed in a moderated Q&A session.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
-
Identify the clinical indications for effective utilization of MR of the prostate.
-
Be familiar with signal characteristics of prostate neoplasia on MRI, and understand the application of ACR standard PI-RADS scale to this type of imaging pathology.
-
Describe MRI's key role as a diagnostic tool for screening, active surveilance, staging, recurrence, identification, treatment planning and treatment response evaluation.

Following the presentation, Dr. Tanenbaum will moderate a live Q&A where questions from the audience will be addressed.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
-
Describe how market forces including patient centric imaging are impacting today’s radiology departments.
-
