Refresher Courses are sessions captured at past RSNA Annual Meetings focusing on themes of health care reform, payment models, research and innovation, patient-centered radiology, and advances in the different imaging modalities. Refresher Courses are targeted to diagnostic, interventional and oncologic radiologists and are designed to improve knowledge and competence in responding to the challenges and advancements in the field of radiology.

Content Areas (Codes):
The following Content Areas will be printed on the certificate for this course:

• Computed Tomography
• Emergency Radiology
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging
• Musculoskeletal Radiology

Learning Objectives:

• Distinguish how to obtain appropriate radiographs, AP, lateral and obliques.
• Discuss which fractures and dislocations are notorious for being overlooked in order to identify or exclude them.
• Distinguish which ligamentous avulsion of the digits are associated with characteristic deformities allowing a definitive diagnosis of the underlying abnormality.
• Outline the potential for satisfaction of search and the potential of diagnostic oversights in certain injuries in order to look closely for the commonly associated injury.
• Recognize when to obtain CT or MRI to confirm or exclude an injury when the clinical diagnosis is not apparent or uncertain on initial radiographs.
• Outline the spectrum of avulsive injuries in the pelvis and hip.
• Describe imaging characteristics of pelvic and hip avulsive injuries, with emphasis on radiography and MRI.
• Explain practical and clinical applications to pelvic and hip avulsive injuries.
• Describe the most common avulsion injuries in the knee.
• Outline the most common imaging features of avulsion injuries in the knee.
• Describe the complimentary role of radiography, CT and MR imaging in the diagnosis of avulsion injuries of the knee.
• Review some hints on keys to avoid missing these lesions in your clinical practice.
• Relate radiographic findings of common avulsion injuries of the ankle and foot with emphasis on frequently missed entities.
• Identify the cross-sectional imaging correlation for all the described entities.
• Identify tools for distinguishing radiographic evidence of pathology from mimickers of disease.
