Musculoskeletal Imaging: Spine, Hip + Shoulder Interpretation Essentials

About this course

Course cost: US$350

The Musculoskeletal Imaging: Spine, Hip + Shoulder course provides clinicians with a structured, practical, and systematic approach to interpreting diagnostic imaging of the axial skeleton and major proximal joints.

SYDNEY '27 - $441 AUD  RRP $490 AUD *Early Bird till 8 Dec 2026

 

Accurate interpretation of spinal and major joint imaging requires a systematic, multi-modality approach. Bringing together structured online prep, interactive anatomical quizzes, and an intensive live workshop, this course equips clinicians with a clear visual framework to evaluate acute trauma, degenerative conditions, and subtle soft tissue pathology across the spine, pelvis, and shoulder.

 

Whether you are assessing acute spinal alignment, diagnosing complex rotator cuff pathology, or identifying subtle labral tears, this program delivers the clinical confidence needed to make timely, accurate diagnostic decisions.

Course Highlights & Format

  • Blended Multi-Modality Learning: Master the complementary roles of plain X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound across complex MSK presentations.
  • Structured 3-Part Case Reviews: Transition directly from expert lectures into dedicated case sets and guided review sessions.
  • Flexible Online Prep: Build your foundational anatomy and modality knowledge online prior to the live event.
