Brachial plexus

Amelie Lutz, Kreuzlingen / Switzerland

To learn how to tailor MRI sequences and how to mitigate artefacts for brachial plexus imaging.
To review key anatomic landmarks on imaging and how to reliably identify the different plexus components.
To become familiar with the most common brachial plexus pathologies and how to differentiate them from mimics using a case-based approach.

Vascular thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)

Maija Radzina, Riga / Latvia

To learn how to perform and interpret positional imaging studies, US, CT, and MRI for TOS evaluation.
To understand how to choose imaging protocols tailored to neurogenic versus vascular TOS.
To become familiar with imaging abnormalities and their clinical presentation to improve diagnostic confidence using a case-based approach.
