Musculoskeletal imaging: musculoskeletal trauma; bone & soft tissue neoplasms / tumours.

Modules, lectures & learning objectives:
  • Module 1: Musculoskeletal trauma
    • Lecture 1:  Imaging in musculoskeletal trauma

      • List different imaging modalities used to assess musculo-skeletal injuries

      • Explain the role of plain film radiography

      • State when CT could be useful

      • Explain the role of MR

      • State when ultrasound & dynamic assessment could be useful​

    • Lecture 2: Imaging in spinal trauma

      • State the role of imaging in assessing spinal fractures, ligaments & soft tissue injuries

      • For different imaging modalities (plain films, CT & MR):

        • Explain the pros & cons of each modality

        • Discuss how a progression of modalities might be used for investigation

        • State how to select the optimum modality in specific situations​

    • Lecture 3: Musculoskeletal injuries in major trauma​

      • List & identify common musculoskeletal injuries in patients with major trauma

      • Describe the significance of certain musculo-skeletal injury patterns in major trauma patients​

  • Module 2: Bone & soft tissue neoplasms / tumours

    • Lecture 1:  Bone tumours

      • List & identify imaging features which distinguish low-grade from aggressive bone lesions

      • Explain imaging’s role in diagnosis & management​

    • Lecture 2: Soft tissue tumours
      • List & identify imaging features which distinguish low-grade from aggressive soft tissue lesions
      • Explain imaging’s role in diagnosis & management​
    • Lecture 3: Image guided intervention in bone & soft tissue tumours​

      • List & identify situations which require image-guided intervention in musculoskeletal tumours

      • Explain image-guided intervention's role in diagnosis & management​
