Description

Too late? Join us on our next Online edition of this course with Dr. Laura Oleaga from 16-18 October 2023 Cervical and Lumbar Spine MRI Fellowship - Degenerative Diseases!


Radiologists, general practitioners, rheumatologists, traumatologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons who would like to become more confident on reporting degenerative spine MRI will find this fellowship very useful.

The Online Spine MRI fellowship that TMC Academy offers includes an overview of the main indications of MRI in spine degenerative disease. We will discuss MRI findings of the lumbar and cervical spine with a lecture, followed by individual case reading with subsequent group discussion.

Each module starts with a lecture. After the lecture you will be challenged with practicing on real anonymised key cases from the TMC Academy teaching file. After the individual case readings there will be an additional lecture followed by a ‘Questions and Answers’ session.


Learning objectives

  • Upgrade your knowledge by immersion in a learning environment without distraction of daily practice to read degenerative spine MRI
  • Become familiar and feel confident with the MRI findings in spine degenerative disease as encountered in daily practice
  • To define the differentiating imaging features of pathologic processes and to create clinically relevant structured reports

Programme will include

  • Lectures on standardized reading degenerative spine MRI studies for diagnosis with quiz cases
  • Individual case reading on provided cases
  • Group case discussion of the reported cases
  • Access to the spine modules from our Image Reporting Simulator to practice with key cases (prior the start of the course).

Level

Level II - General radiologist
Radiologists, general practitioners, rheumatologists, traumatologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons with the aim of having more in-depth knowledge of the MRI findings in spine degenerative diseases will benefit most from the fellowship.
