Weekend Course
ORGANIZERS: Jung-Ah Choi, Jan Fritz, Riccardo Lattanzi, Emily McWalter, Edwin Oei, Miika Nieminen
Sunday, 12 May 2019
| Room 513A-C |
13:30 - 15:40 |
Moderators: Eric Chang, Marianne Black |
Skill Level: Intermediate
Session Number: WE-18B
Overview
The aim of this session is to bring together clinicians and scientists to learn about and discuss current MR imaging practice and unmet imaging needs of musculoskeletal diseases including muscle disorders, musculoskeletal complications of diabetes, inflammatory arthropathy, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, osteochondrosis, and osteonecrosis. Promising advanced MRI techniques will also be proposed.
Target Audience
Radiologists, clinicians, technologists, and scientists interested in translational research.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe the disease(s) and summarize the current standard imaging techniques;
- Identify the current unmet imaging needs of several musculoskeletal diseases; and
- Discuss potential solutions based on novel/advanced imaging techniques.

Sports Injuries: Present
Haron Obaid
This talk will focus on MRI imaging techniques as related to sports injuries, role of MRI in sports imaging-problem solving tool, pitfalls and limitations of MRI in sports imaging. There will be a review of imaging findings of common injury patterns affecting the tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and bones.

Sports Injuries: Advanced Imaging Methods for Injuries to Short-T2 Tissues
Ashley Williams
Sprains, strains, tears and stress fractures are unfortunately common occurrences in athletes and weekend warriors alike. Detection and quantitation of subtle and, in some cases, subclinical damage to short-T2 tissues using advanced MRI methods, like ultrashort echo time (UTE) and zero echo time (ZTE) imaging, may help to guide the clinical management of injured patients as they recover and return to sport. Audience members will be introduced to common sports injuries involving short-T2 tissues and new and upcoming MRI techniques to diagnose, stage, and monitor tissue injury and recovery by assessing short-T2 tissue properties.

Osteonecrosis & Osteochondrosis: Present
Mihra Taljanovic
This talk reviews the pathophysiology, clinical findings, imaging findings and treatment options of epiphyseal osteonecrosis, bone infarcts and various types of osteohondroses with emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Specifically, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, humeral head, talar dome, lunate and proximal scaphoid pole will be discussed. Steinberg modified FICAT classification of the femoral head osteonecrosis and Lichtman staging of Kienbock Disease will be presented in tables. Following osteochondroses will be addressed: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), osteochondrosis of the capitellum (Panner disease), Blount disease (tibia vara) Osgood-Schlatter disease, Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease (jumper’s knee), Freiberg infraction, Köhler disease and Scheuermann’s disease.
