using ultrasound: to be able to identify tendon and muscle damage (3)

Course Description & Study Characteristics

Course Description

In this course students will be trained in working with ultrasound for the analysis of musculoskeletal function, pathologies and of course healthy structures. We will primarily focus on the shoulder and knee. On a more general level, students will be introduced to other imaging methods in orthopaedics: x-ray, MRI and CT. To this end, the course contains expert lectures on these imaging modalities.

The course will comprise:

Expert classes on imaging methods (MRI, CT, ultrasound) and research applications.
Classes on the recognition of a selection of musculoskeletal disorders using ultrasound.
Demo's and practicals regarding musculoskeletal ultrasound use for research and diagnosis.
