EULAR Sonography Course (annual)
 

The aim of this three level course is to cover all spectrum of conditions in which musculoskeletal US (MSUS) could be used in rheumatology practice and research.

 

The basic course (up to 35 participants with little or no experience in MSUS) aims at teaching musculoskeletal sonoanatomy, standardised MSUS scanning method according to EULAR guidelines and basic MSUS pathological findings, as well as giving an overview of the role of MSUS in haematological clinical practice. The programme focuses on two main targets: technical know-how (and how to obtain good images) and interpretation.

 

The intermediate course (up to 35 participants with some experience in MSUS) aims at consolidating standardised MSUS scanning method according to EULAR guidelines, as well as describing and identifying musculoskeletal lesions/abnormalities by US and knowing the role of MSUS in different musculoskeletal pathologies (inflammatory, degenerative and/or traumatic). The standardised approach in the study of the various anatomic regions as well as the future development of US technique and its role as a research tool is discussed.

 

The advanced course (up to 35 participants with considerable experience in MSUS) focuses on difficult issues within MSUS and emerging research fields in MSUS (contrast enhanced, 3D, quantification of inflammation). This includes time for discussion with expert rheumatologists and radiologists in MSUS.
