The Advanced Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound Applications Interactive Online Course is designed to provide a comprehensive review of advanced MSK applications to expand and enhance diagnostic capabilities.

OBJECTIVES

• Increase the participant’s knowledge to better perform and/or interpret musculoskeletal ultrasound examinations.
• Recognize ultrasound characteristics associated with various types of tumors and pseudotumors seen with musculoskeletal ultrasound.
• Outline the hip anatomy and recognize ultrasound appearance of the normal hip.
• Identify common hip pathology as seen with ultrasound.
• Recognize ultrasound characteristics associated with various types of pathology that require dynamic maneuvers to accurately evaluate.
• Perform appropriate joint movement, patient positioning, and/or muscle contraction maneuvers to best demonstrate musculoskeletal pathologies.
• Recognize ultrasound characteristics associated with post-operative joint procedures.
• Apply diagnostic criteria to evaluate post-operative joints using ultrasound techniques.
• Evaluate the integrity of the calcaneofibular, anterior inferior tibiofibular, and anterior talofibular ligaments with dynamic ultrasound examination.
• Evaluate medial ankle tendons, ligaments, and neurovascular structures with ultrasound.
• Demonstrate scanning protocols for performing peripheral nerve ultrasound examinations.
• List indications for performing ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve injections for MSK applications.
• Demonstrate scanning protocols for performing ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve injections for MSK applications.
• Identify the anatomy of the lumbar and cervical spine that are best evaluated with ultrasound.
• Outline ultrasound-guided injection techniques for lumbar and cervical spine interventions.
• Increase confidence to incorporate protocols, techniques, and interpretation criteria to improve diagnostic/treatment accuracy.
