Internal Derangement of Joints: Upper Extremity - A CME Teaching Activity

This CME activity provides an update of current information on MR imaging in the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders. Essential anatomy, physiology and pathology are emphasized that explain imaging findings in disorders of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand and fingers. MR imaging findings in the assessment of common problems in upper extremities are compared to those derived from other imaging methods.

The target audience is practicing radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, sports medicine physicians, and other physicians interested in musculoskeletal disorders.

Educational Symposia

Physicians: Educational Symposia is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Educational Symposia designates this enduring material for a maximum of 17.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

All activity participants are required to complete the credit application in order to be awarded credit. Course participants will also have the opportunity to critically evaluate the program as it relates to practice relevance and educational objectives.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM for these programs may be claimed until September 30, 2027.

This program is planned and organized by Educational Symposia, a leader in accredited continuing education since 1975.

This activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Essential Areas and Elements.

At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:

• Assess MR images in patients with internal derangements of the upper extremity joints.
• Articulate the anatomic features fundamental to accurate interpretation of the MR imaging findings in these disorders.
• Formulate a reasonable differential diagnostic list and be able to identify the most likely diagnosis.
• Comprehend the pathogenesis and imaging findings associated with common and important disorders that affect the upper extremities.

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
