Master Shoulder Joint X-ray Interpretation: From Anatomy to Advanced Pathology"

What you'll learn

Master Core X-Ray Views: Understand and interpret essential shoulder X-ray views, including AP, true AP, Stryker notch, lateral Y, Neers, axial, and Garth views

Recognize and Differentiate Anatomical Landmarks: Identify key anatomical structures in each view, with an emphasis on detailed shoulder anatomy

Identify Pathologies and Traumatic Injuries: Detect common and complex shoulder injuries, such as fractures (e.g., greater tuberosity, humeral neck) dislocation

Interpret Degenerative and Systemic Conditions: Analyze radiographic signs of shoulder pathologies like osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis neuropathicarthritis

Apply Checklists to Ensure Comprehensive Analysis: Use structured checklists for AP and apical oblique views to systematically review shoulder X-rays.

Diagnose Pediatric and Developmental Abnormalities: Identify conditions like Salter-Harris fractures, Sprengel deformity, cleidocranial dysostosis,

Understand Common Pitfalls and Misinterpretations: Recognize pseudo-lesions, pitfalls in dislocation interpretation, and potential errors

Learn to identify various bone lesions, including osteochondromas, chondroblastomas, ABCs, SBCs, and osteosarcomas.

Evaluate shoulder injuries using specialized views, such as ACJ, SCJ, and injury views, to gain a complete assessment of trauma cases.

Apply learning in quizzes and case studies to reinforce skills and prepare for clinical practice.

Requirements

Basic Anatomy Knowledge: A foundational understanding of human anatomy, especially musculoskeletal anatomy, will be helpful for following the detailed anatomical discussions.

Familiarity with Medical Terminology: Since the course includes specific radiological and anatomical terms, a general familiarity with medical terminology is recommended.

Interest or Background in Radiology or Medicine: This course is ideal for radiology students, medical students, or healthcare professionals interested in diagnostic imaging and shoulder radiography.

No Prior X-ray or Radiography Experience Needed: While some background in radiology is beneficial, the course is structured to guide you from basic to advanced topics, making it suitable for beginners as well as more experienced individuals
