Stoller: A Comprehensive Tutorial in Musculoskeletal Imaging 2019

Stoller: A Comprehensive Tutorial in Musculoskeletal Imaging is organized by CME Science and will be held from Feb 20 - 22, 2019 at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America.

Target Audience:
Board certified general radiologists and trainees interested in musculoskeletal imaging
• Orthopedic Surgeons
• Radiology fellows in training
• Radiologist Assistants and MRI Technologists
• Practicing physicians in sports medicine and related clinical subspecialties who desire to familiarize themselves with the current role of imaging in patient evaluation
• Allied health care professionals who desire to have an update on the state of current imaging as an aid to patient management for diseases of the musculoskeletal system

Conference Objectives:
• Employ a shoulder checklist method including interpretation techniques for the rotator cuff and interval, biceps labral complex, inferior glenohumeral ligament complex, and capsular structures including the anterior band.
• Identify glenoid wear patterns in multidirectional instability, microinstability, anterior and posterior instability.
• Develop a knee checklist with foolproof ACL diagnosis and techniques for prospective diagnosis of all types of meniscal tears, differentiating circumferential surface from cross-sectional tear patterns.
• Introduce strategies for the evaluation of the cruciate ligaments, posterolateral instability, and articular cartilage.
• Utilize a femoroacetabular impingement checklist to distinguish between FAI and DDH pathology.
• Discuss approaches for accurate acetabular-labral tear identification. Introduce orthopedic articular cartilage classification for the acetabular roof.
• Develop an ankle checklist including articulations, ligaments, tendons and articular cartilage.
• Describe all types of soft tissue ankle impingement and posterior ligamentous and subtalar joint anatomy.
• Develop a wrist checklist with emphasis on the intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments and the triangular fibrocartilage.
• Explain the relevance of perilunate instability, SLAC and triscaphe arthritis.
• Develop an elbow checklist with the ability to differentiate epicondylitis from instability patterns

Stoller Mini-Fellowship:
Stoller Mini-Fellowship Workshop will be held on Feb 20, 2019. Advanced MRI Case-Based Mini-Fellowship where Dr. Stoller will review select images and entire DICOM Shoulder MRI cases on Wednesday before the regular didactic checklist course.

Dr. Stoller will provide advanced 1.5 and 3T updates and specifically demonstrate his hints and secrets for identifying SLAP tears with high sensitivity and specificity, specific rotator cuff tear patterns using actual cases and examples of high attachment anterior band and glenohumeral joint capsular variations. The new concept of the rotator cable and over-tensioning the cuff in repair, which is not yet covered in the literature will be discussed. 8.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credits are offered for this program.

Objectives:
• Assemble and use a checklist for the shoulder MR interpretation
• Apply protocol technical considerations
• Identify interpretation pitfalls
• Employ a strategy to interpret shoulder MR studies using the checklist

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
