Internal Derangement of Joints 2021: Pelvis and Lower Extremity

This continuing education 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 pelvis, hip, knee, ankle and foot. MR imaging findings in the assessment of common problems in lower extremity joints are compared to those derived from other imaging methods.

The target audience is practicing radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, podiatrists, 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 21.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

SA-CME: Credits awarded for this enduring activity are designated "SA-CME" by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) and qualify toward fulfilling requirements for Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part II: Lifelong Learning and Self-assessment.

All activity participants are required to take a written or online test in order to be awarded credit. All 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 January 31, 2024.

This CME activity was planned and produced by Educational Symposia, the leader in diagnostic imaging education since 1975.

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

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

• Assess MR images in patients with internal derangements of peripheral 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 pelvis and lower extremities.

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity
