PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
International School of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
High-resolution Ultrasound of theExtremities - I. Elbow to Fingers9-11 December 2014 - Genoa, ItalyOptional preceptorship session: 11-13 December 2014
Aim High-resolution ultrasound is an extremely useful and versatiletechnique for examining the musculoskeletal system. It has theadvantage of being readily available and inexpensive, at the same timeproviding highly detailed information regarding a variety of clinicallyrelevant structures of the musculoskeletal system including tendons,muscles, nerves, ligaments, joints and bone. As technology progresses,it is becoming clear where ultrasound would be the primaryconsideration, and this technique is increasingly viewed as one thatcompetes with MR imaging rather than as a complementary tool. TheInternational School of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound will offer a greatopportunity to improve theoretical background together with practicalskills to perform an appropriate ultrasound examination of themusculoskeletal system. This live educational course will be focused onthe distal upper extremity, from the elbow to the fingers. The scientificprogramme will run for one full day and two half-days. It will consist oflectures with live demonstrations, case studies, interactive sessions andhands-on scanning in small groups with experienced tutors. There willalso be an optional Preceptorship session, working closely with theProfessor, practicing scanning techniques and observing consultationswith patients.
Learning objectivesAt the end of this live educational course learners will be able:
• To describe normal anatomy, variants and biomechanics ofmusculoskeletal structures and recognize related pathology
• To explain how to apply the advanced US in the distal lowerextremity
• To improve their practice in their own examination skills underexpert guidance, taking advantages from practical training sessions
Target audienceMusculoskeletal radiologists, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons,physiatrists, neurophysiologists and any other specialist interested inmusculoskeletal ultrasound.

The live educational course will be followed by an optional "Real-lifePreceptorship" in which attendees have the opportunity to participate ina series of practical MSK US sessions (4 hours long each) at the GenoaUniversity Hospital.
These sessions will be scheduled on Thursday afternoon, Fridaymorning and afternoon and Saturday morning, at the end of the course.
Each Preceptorship session will involve a series of approximately 10patients (40 patients in total) submitted to US examination for clinicalassessments inside the specific limb areas that have been addressed inthe course program.
The same teachers / instructors of the course will tutor the attendeesside-by-side working with them in an interactive environment.Preceptorship registration have limited places available and will besubjected to a "first come first served basis".
