About This CME Teaching Activity

2024 Donald L. Resnick, M.D., Presents… Internal Derangement of Joints Pelvis and Lower Extremity This continuing education 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 pelvis, hip, knee, ankle and foot. MR imaging findings in the assessment of common problems in lower extremity joints are compared to those derived from other imaging methods.

Target Audience

The target audience is practicing radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, podiatrists, sports medicine physicians and other physicians interested in musculoskeletal disorders.

Educational Objectives

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

• Assess MR images in patients with internal derangements of peripheral 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 pelvis and lower extremities.
