The ISMRM is excited to present this inaugural CME course intended for radiologists and other medical professionals who are interested in increasing their clinical knowledge for interpretation of MR imaging of the musculoskeletal system, body and breast.  

This course will run concurrently with the annual ISMRM meeting sessions and will incorporate some of the didactic and poster material from that meeting along with exclusive additional lectures for registrants.  Through a series of lectures, exhibits, panels, case reviews, and interactions with the faculty, attendees will be updated on practical and state-of-the–art aspects of MR imaging including anatomy, pathology and technical factors and innovations.  There will also be the opportunity to earn even more CME credits by attending ISMRM Annual Meeting lectures on hot topics such as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, unmet needs of MRI in various areas, and application of the newest hardware, coils and sequences in the field.  Registrants will have time during and after the course to review scientific posters and to attend the wide array of other sessions of the main ISMRM meeting, or just simply to relax on the beach.

Upon completion of the course, registrants should be able to

1. Use optimized protocols for imaging the musculoskeletal system, body, and breast
2. Describe anatomy, normal variants and pitfalls in MRI of the body and musculoskeletal system
3. Diagnose pathology on MRIs of the musculoskeletal system, body and breast
4. Utilize recent updates in the field of MRI;  and
5. Describe current MRI approaches for a large variety of abnormalities and pathological conditions in the musculoskeletal system, body and breast.
