Join Dr Donald Resnick and colleagues in this 4-part, in-depth musculoskeletal radiology series on MR imaging and assessment of synovial joints.

This series of MSK lectures and case reviews will provide radiologists with a practical overview of the use of MR imaging and MR arthrography in the assessment of synovial joints with a focus on the most common articular disorders and those internal derangements that are encountered daily in clinical practice.

You will get an in-depth understanding of the various types of human articulations and, with regard to synovial joints, the many diverse structures contained within them. Additionally, Dr. Resnick and his co-presenters will walk through effective search patterns and how to distinguish between normal variations and pathologic abnormalities.

Topics covered in this course: 

  • Anatomy and suggested terminology 
  • Common disorders and internal derangements 
  • Functional classification vs structural classification
  • Fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, and synovial joints 
  • Cartilage, subchondral bone, menisci, discs, labra, and fat pads
  • Supporting structures including tendons / ligaments and sesamoid bones and ossicles
  • Synovial fluid, synovitis, hemarthrosis, lipohemarthrosis, and synovial / ganglion cysts
  • Synovial plica
  • …and more!
