The Symposium on Innovations in Musculoskeletal Imaging, Diagnostics, and Pain Management is a focused, high-level educational event that brings together world-renowned experts to deliver advanced training in musculoskeletal ultrasound and image-guided interventions. Covering a wide range of topics from MSK imaging to rheumatologic assessments, nerve hydrodissection, and regenerative procedures. This Symposium is designed for clinicians seeking to elevate their diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic skills in managing neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
By the end of the symposium, participants will be able to:
Understand the principles and applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings.
Recognise key ultrasound anatomy and common pathological findings across various joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.
Gain familiarity with ultrasound-guided procedures used in the management of musculoskeletal and pain-related conditions.
Explore emerging techniques such as nerve hydrodissection and regenerative therapies.
Apply knowledge gained from expert-led sessions and case discussions to enhance clinical decision-making and patient care.
- Lectures
- Live Demonstrations
- Interactive Case Studies
This symposium does not include the structured hands-on workshops featured in the MASTERS series. Instead, ultrasound machines will be available throughout the venue, allowing participants to explore scanning independently during breaks. Instructors may also permit limited peer scanning during Interactive Case Study sessions at their discretion.
