MR imaging of the hands in rheumatic diseases: how I do it
Anne Cotten, Lille / France
- To learn which sequences an MRI study of the hands and wrist minimally requires.
- To appreciate how MRI supports the diagnosis of the main rheumatic disease at the hand and wrist.
- To understand the typical signs of the main rheumatic diseases at the hand and wrist.
20 min
MR imaging in axial spondyloarthropathy: how I do it
Lennart B.O. Jans, Drongen / Belgium
- To learn which sequences, an MRI study of the sacroiliac joints and rheumatic spine is minimally required.
- To appreciate that dedicated MRI sequences will show typical lesions of SpA.
- To understand that both active and structural lesions should be assessed in SpA imaging.
20 min
Whole-body MR imaging of inflammation: how I do it
Chiara Giraudo, Padua / Italy
- To learn which musculoskeletal inflammatory diseases may benefit from whole-body MRI and how to optimise the protocol.
- To appreciate how this technique supports the diagnosis of musculoskeletal inflammatory diseases in adults and children.
- To understand the typical signs of musculoskeletal inflammatory diseases on whole-body MRI and how to differentiate them from the main mimickers.
15 min
Imaging of rheumatic diseases: what is relevant to rheumatologists?
Mikkel Østergaard, Frederiksberg / Denmark
- To learn the challenges rheumatologists face when diagnosing and managing patients with rheumatic diseases and how imaging can help.
- To appreciate what is relevant to the rheumatologist and why.
- To understand how important imaging is for diagnosing and monitoring rheumatic diseases and what the rheumatologist wants to know.
