OVERVIEW |
|
This interactive
two-hour course will utilize an audience response system. The focus
will be on imaging peripheral nerves with MRI, with lectures
addressing how to recognize and potentially resolve abnormalities of
peripheral nerves. The cases will be discussed in a unique and
interactive way to encourage audience participation towards
understanding the physics behind the imaging, their clinical
significance and potential remedies. |
