FOR RHEUMATOLOGISTS: MRI ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS & SPONDYLOARTHRITIS SPINE AND SIJ
SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY SPINE AND SIJ IMAGING FOR RHEUMATOLOGISTS: 1st JANUARY 2022
Our new Guided MRI Spine Course on SPONDYLOARTHROPATHIES OF THE SPINE AND SIJ for Rheumatologists.
This Mini-Fellowship is a combined Radiology Rheumatology Course with Dr Joe Thomas, a Senior Consultant Rheumatologist with extensive clinical experience. Whilst we will focus on Imaging, Dr Thomas will bring the very important clinical aspect which will determine, how we interpret and report a scan and he will help us to know what the Rheumatologist wants from our reports.
The focus of this Online MRI Spine course, like all our courses, is for you to be More Confident in making a diagnosis and to put out much Better Reports. Apart from the Imaging abnormalities, we make sure you understand the detailed radiological anatomy of the Spine and SIJ, essential to an accurate diagnosis. We also cover the macroscopic pathology of abnormalities in all our Mini Fellowships, which I have found makes understanding and reporting the imaging easier.
Through these workshops we aim to make Rheumatologists More Confident to assess your patient’s MRIs of the SIJ and Spine for Spondyloarthropathies and to be able to
DR RAVI PADMANABHAN: WERE TO LOOK, WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND HOW TO REPORT
The Radiologist: Dr Ravi, is the Director of Radiology Education Asia and a Senior Consultant Radiologist from Australia now in Singapore. He has been teaching MSK and Spine MRI for over 10 years to Radiologists, Rheumatologists and Sports Physicians from Asia, Africa, Middle East, Europe, The Americas and Australia/ New Zealand. His aim in the courses is not just accumulating facts, but for you to be reporting more confidently.
His method of teaching is to simplify, without losing the essential things we need to know. For you to easily recognise the important anatomy, the relevant macroscopic pathology which helps to understand the imaging findings and for you to know where to look and what to look for. All of these help you to report a scan with Confidence and issue reports that you are proud of and will be respected by referrers.
DR JOE THOMAS: WHAT DOES THE RHEUMATOLOGIST WANT US TO KNOW?
The Rheumatologist:We are really happy to have Dr Joe Thomas, the Senior Consultant Rheumatologist at Aster Hospital in Kochi India join us. He has vast clinical experience and a very strong interest in Imaging. He will give you the clinical perspective in imaging so that we can better interpret the scans and know what Rheumatologists want from our reports. Dr Thomas will be actively involved in the teaching and answering questions.
Why do we have a Rheumatologist? We usually assess cases and issue reports with no /minimal clinical input & feedback. That feeling is always there of not being sure of what the clinician really wants and if our reports are adequate. This is particularly a problem with Rheumatology where the clinical input makes a very big difference to the interpretation and reporting of the imaging. Dr Thomas will tell us what the Rheumatologist wants to know.
