Internal Derangement of Joints 2021: Pelvis and Lower Extremity (CME VIDEOS)

Overview

Internal Derangement of Joints 2021: Pelvis and Lower Extremity (CME VIDEOS) is a comprehensive continuing education activity focused on MR imaging assessment of musculoskeletal disorders affecting the pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. This course emphasizes essential anatomy, physiology, and pathology to enhance the interpretation of imaging findings in lower extremity joints, comparing MR imaging to other diagnostic methods. On-demand radiology education — accessible anytime, anywhere.
