MSK Imaging Study Track
Work through a systematic approach to reading joint, tendon, and bone imaging across MRI, CT, and ultrasound.
What this track covers
This track covers musculoskeletal imaging interpretation, from normal joint anatomy to common injury and disease patterns seen in practice. It emphasizes a systematic reading approach that carries across modalities, so findings on MRI, CT, and ultrasound are evaluated with the same clinical framework.
What you will practice
- Work through normal joint anatomy on MRI, CT, and ultrasound before tackling pathology
- Distinguish ligament tears from tendon pathology using consistent imaging criteria
- Recognize common fracture patterns and describe them in standardized terms
- Differentiate arthritis patterns from bone tumors and metabolic bone disease
- Correlate imaging findings with clinical presentation to support a working diagnosis
Simulator scenario
A patient presents after a twisting knee injury during sport, and the simulator walks through history-taking, imaging selection, and interpretation to reach a working diagnosis.
Board question topics
- Ligament and tendon injury patterns
- Fracture classification and description
- Arthritis pattern recognition
- Bone lesion characterization
