If you are not currently familiar with looking at spinal MRI scans, we strongly recommended starting with and booking on to this webinar before taking part in our other more advanced webinars and small group (online) coaching meetings.
Following this webinar you will gain an understanding of the common terminology contained in MRI radiology reports and will be able to relate to these on MRI images.
You will also achieve an added appreciation for spinal anatomy and be able to identify, on MRI, spinal structures including:
- the intervertebral discs,
- annulus fibrosis,
- nucleus Pulposus
- facet joints,
- sacro-iliac joints,
- exiting nerve roots,
- decending nerve roots,
- thecal sac,
- cauda equina,
- posterior longitudinal ligament,
- ligamentum flavum,
- erector spinal muscles,
- psoas muscles,
- spinous processes,
- tranverse processes
- pars articularis,
You will gain a solid standard of the standard views and sequences patients receive when undergoing an MRI scan of their spine, namely:
- sagittal T1,
- sagittal T2,
- axial T1
- axial T2
You will also gain insights into what are often supplementary sequences i.e. not always performed as standard (unless requested) including:
- coronal views
- STIR sequences
The seminar will leave you with the confidence to know what you are looking at on MRI images and a sense of normal spinal anatomy as a reference point, so that you will be primed and ready to spot abnormal pathology (as covered in our other courses).
Please can you let me know when this will be available
