DI 5660: Imaging Interpretation I

This course focuses on the diagnostic imaging findings associated with selected conditions in the categories of musculoskeletal trauma, arthritides, infectious diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and vascular diseases affecting bone. Pertinent clinical features are also discussed to stress the importance of correlating patient demographics, history, lab, and exam findings in developing differential diagnoses for conventional x-ray examinations. The complimentary application and findings of advanced imaging studies (primarily bone scan, MR and CT) are also included for these topics but are not covered in depth. This course is a hybrid format with 5 hours of recorded, asynchronous lectures blended with 1 hour of in-person instruction focusing on case presentation and imaging interpretation.
