Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2c52fb/neuro_and_musculos) has announced the addition of the "Neuro and Musculoskeletal Imaging" training to their offering.

Learning the various fundamentals of neuro and musculoskeletal imaging, this program focuses on an array of imaging techniques emphasizing on magnetic resonance imaging, multi-detector CT applications, and PET/CT applications to head and neck oncology. Participants should gain familiarity of up-to-date imaging protocols, as well as, imaging pitfalls. CREDITS Up to 19.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s) CE RELEASE April 1, 2007 CE EXPIRE March 31, 2010

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Apply methods to optimize imaging of the musculoskeletal system
• Describe normal anatomy and pathology related to:
• MRI of the knee (including menisci and ligaments)
• MRI of the joints (hip, ankle, foot, elbow, wrist and digits)
• MRI of the shoulder (rotator cuff, shoulder instability, SLAP lesions and other shoulder pathology, including post-operative findings)
• Compare the imaging appearances of normal and abnormal bone marrow processes in MRI
• Characterize and stage bone and soft tissue tumors using MRI
• Use MRI to evaluate cartilage and osteochondral disease
• Optimize CT protocols for multi-detector imaging of stroke
• Characterize head and neck imaging of benign and malignant diseases and cranial nerve anatomy and pathology
• Better interpret vascular disorders of the CNS
• Use the evidence-based approach to imaging patients with headache
• Define management plans for spinal pain procedures
• Approach perfusion imaging in stroke with emphasis on practical implementation and interpretation

Accreditation Statement

The University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Credit Designation

UCSF designates this educational activity for a maximum of 19.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

• Release date: April 1, 2007
• Credits expire: March 31, 2010

CME credit is obtained upon successful completion of a program evaluation. A $30 processing fee must accompany the completed evaluation. Faculty Disclosure

Faculty for UCSFs Continuing Medical Education Program must complete a Declaration of Disclosure prior to the CME activity. Having an interest in or affiliation with a commercial entity does not preclude making a presentation at a CME activity, but the relationship must be disclosed in advance, and any potential conflict of interest must be resolved in accordance with the ACCME Updated Standards for Commercial Support.

Disclosure must be conveyed to the learning audience prior to the educational offering; presentation of information on investigational/off-label use of pharmaceuticals or medical devices must also be disclosed. Full disclosure of faculty is listed in the syllabus.
