Shoulder Imaging: MRI Pitfalls
Eric Pike

MRI of the shoulder can be one of the more challenging joints reviewed by radiologists. To reduce and minimize these challenges and to avoid misdiagnoses, a thorough understanding of the normal anatomy of the shoulder, including knowledge of normal variants is required. This presentation will review the more relevant pitfalls that commonly occur in daily clinical practice involving tendons, ligaments, and osseous structures.

At the end of the presentation, the participants will be able to 

• Review and understand normal anatomy of the shoulder, including normal variants.
• Identify common pitfalls in the interpretation of tendon, ligament, and osseous structures to reduce errors and avoid misdiagnoses.

Target Audience:

• Radiologist
• Resident
• Medical Student
• Orthopedic Surgeons
• Sports Medicine Specialists

Hip Imaging: MRI Pitfalls
Ali Naraghi

With advances in surgical treatment of hip pathologies, there has been an increase demand for MR imaging of the hips. MRI is the most accurate imaging method for internal derangement of the hips but there are potential pitfalls related to technique, normal variants, and commonly overlooked pathologies. This presentation will highlight some of the common sources of such pitfalls.

At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

• Identify normal anatomical variants that may mimic hip pathology on MRI.
• Discuss commonly overlooked pathologies on MRI of the hip.
• Develop strategies for avoiding pitfalls in MR imaging of the hips.
