Body and MSK MRI: Clinical Updates and Practical Physics

Thursday, October 3, 2019, 6:30 PM - Saturday, October 5, 2019, 4:00 PM PST, Monterey Plaza Hotel

Stanford Radiology CME is pleased to present Body and MSK MRI: Clinical Updates and Practical Physics, in Monterey, California. This course will review body and musculoskeletal imaging.

Attendees will learn how to perform and interpret body MRI for indications such as renal tumors, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases and more.   The musculoskeletal portion will include imaging of groin pain, hip, as well as interactive cases. 

The practical physics portion will include physical principles from basic MRI to recent advances in coils, acceleration, image contrast and motion correction.  We will describe how these principles are applied to achieve robust, high quality images. Through lectures, question-and-answer sessions, engaging panel discussions and debates, participants will be better able to optimize image interpretation, discuss controversial topics, and enhance interactions with clinician colleagues.

Please join us in beautiful Monterey in October 2019!
