Internal Derangement of Joints: Upper Extremity 2024- A CME Teaching Activity

topics

videos

This CME activity provides an update of current information on MR imaging in the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders. Essential anatomy, physiology and pathology are emphasized that explain imaging findings in disorders of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand and fingers. MR imaging findings in the assessment of common problems in upper extremities are compared to those derived from other imaging methods.

t the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:

• Assess MR images in patients with internal derangements of the upper extremity joints.
• Articulate the anatomic features fundamental to accurate interpretation of the MR imaging findings in these disorders.
• Formulate a reasonable differential diagnostic list and be able to identify the most likely diagnosis.
• Comprehend the pathogenesis and imaging findings associated with common and important disorders that affect the upper extremities.

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
