Full-immersion Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

SPEAKERS: CARLO PERRICONE AND ALEXANDRA BALBIR-GURMAN

Objectives:

Discover how musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) can transform the way you diagnose and manage autoimmune rheumatic diseases in this 2-hour full-immersion, hands-on experience.

This highly interactive session goes beyond theory:

  • Live demonstration of scanning techniques and image interpretation, guided by expert faculty
  • Real-time discussion of differential diagnoses in inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis, crystal arthropathies, connective tissue diseases, and giant cell arteritis
  • Engaging quiz sessions with representative pathological images, tested at the start and end of the course to track your progress.

With no radiation, real-time visualization, and immediate clinical applicability, MSUS provides physicians with the tools for faster, more accurate decision-making.

Join us for this dynamic course, sharpen your sonographic skills, and leave ready to integrate MSUS confidently into your daily clinical practice.

Workshops must be selected within the main registration form and are booked as part of the congress registration process.
