Come to Barcelona (Spain) on 13 - 17 Nov 2023 and take part in a mini-fellowship - Musculoskeletal MRI. Lectures and case discussions will cover MRI of a shoulder, wrist, elbow, ankle, knee, hip, and more. Check the agenda here.
This advanced course taught over 3 afternoons includes highly-specific daily programmes that have been included to make a big difference on your radiological report.
The course will be based on around an individual and group case review followed by short lectures.
The first day will include some difficult topics on the foot and ankle such as the high ankle sprain, midtarsal sprain, different types of ankle impingement and the differential diagnosis of metatarsalgia.
The second day will look at some specific problems on the instable and microinstable shoulder together with the new concepts on the rotator cuff that should be reported following ISAKOS classification system.
The last day we will cover some specific problems of the knee that are frequently overlooked on radiological reports such as the posterior corners of the knee and the different types of meniscal tears following the ISAKOS system.
In addition, we will review important incidental findings, pseudo tumours and tumours found on joint MRI studies that radiologists should be aware of, in order to avoid important mistakes. We will also review normal variants that look pathological and some frequent benign tumours that might be as frequent as incidental findings, among others. Moreover we will emphasize which radiological findings indicate to us the more aggressive lesions.
With a limited number of 15 radiologists in this Online Fellowship, you will enhance and strengthen your own and each other’s knowledge in structured musculoskeletal MRI reading. After the case reading sessions you will maintain access to the cases to keep practicing.
If this Online Fellowship has been successful it will have provided you with knowledge that can help you address your normal clinical challenges, as well as future pursuits.
TMC Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.
Online sessions are recorded so that participants can review on their own time following the training.
In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.
This fellowship is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.

Dr. Alejandro Jaramillo Jimenez, Radiologist, Colombia (Fellow, June 2022)
"I want to thank Eva Llopis very much for this very interesting course. I learned a lot especially what regards the needs of the orthopaedic surgeons. The selection of the cases was excellent and I especially liked the case summaries with additional information to the pathology. The course was very interactive and that was the best aspect since things that I have actively thought through, I will recollect easier in the future."
Dr. Petra Kullnig, Radiologist, TMC, Germany (Fellow, June 2022)
"Great course and outstanding teacher. The case mix and lectures are excellent. I would highly recommend this course."

"Extremely useful training with an interesting variety of cases presented. I loved the PACS system and the fact that we had access to the cases. I learned how to use ISAKO for shoulder and knee reporting. I learned better ways to structure reports and what the surgeons really want to know.”
Dr. Obiora Mann Ajuluchukwu, Radiologist, United Kingdom (Fellow, May 2021)
"I’m very satisfied with this training with Dr. Llopis and would recommend it to others. The lecturer, lectures, and presentation were perfect! It brought to me new knowledge, and a new valuable approach in solving different cases.”
