12:00 PM — 12:30 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to review general techniques for sonographic evaluation of the brachial plexus and upper extremity nerves, discuss brachial plexus and upper extremity nerve conditions evaluated by sonography, and review US-guided treatment options for upper extremity nerve and brachial plexus conditions.
Ogonna K. Nwawka, MD
12:30 PM — 1:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to apply the practical techniques of Brachial plexus MR neurography, recognize the spectrum of brachial plexus lesions and explain the NS-RADS system as applied to Brachial plexus pathology.
Avneesh Chhabra, MD
1:00 PM — 1:30 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to understand adjustments that can be made to optimize MR neurography protocols of the upper extremity, recognize and describe common upper extremity entrapment neuropathies, and recognize and describe morphologic changes of peripheral nerves involved in Parsonage-Turner syndrome.
Darryl B. Sneag, MD
1:30 PM — 2:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to understand the role of specific MR sequences in the evaluation of atraumatic skeletal muscle disorders including denervation and inflammatory myopathy, systematically evaluate skeletal muscle signal abnormality encountered at MR imaging using a patter-based approach, and create a definitive or differential diagnosis indicative of skeletal muscle disorder(s) incorporating clinical and MR imaging findings.
