Educational objectives. This course is aimed at radiologists with some experience in musculoskeletal radiology. There are three components to the course:

1.
Lecture-based and small-group training to cover the interpretation of MRI scans of the knee and shoulder in both the paediatric and adult populations. The course attendees will learn aspects of anatomy and pathology to help them interpret scans ranging from the common and simple pathologies to the rare and more complex processes.

2.
Clear, concise and comprehensive reporting of the images is as important as an understanding of the pathology. Therefore the course faculty who all have many years experience in radiology both in conventional settings and in teleradiology will provide guidance in producing a report which meets the requirements of a diverse and demanding group of referring clinicians.

3.
The hands-on component of the course will allow time for the course participants to create their own reports on cases from our comprehensive image library which will then be double reported and critically evaluated by the faculty.
