Synopsis Conventional radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are integral parts of the evaluation of a patient with suspected lumbar spine pathology. They are an invaluable tool in quickly establishing a diagnosis or making a better differential diagnosis. Although the ability to evaluate both x-rays and MRI studies is important to the delivery of effective spine care, most clinicians learn this skill in an informal fashion during training and in clinical practice. This webinar will help teach the participants how to systematically evaluate and interpret x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine. The goal of the course is to provide Physiotherapists with the knowledge and confidence to differentiate normal from abnormal findings that primary care clinicians are likely to encounter. Learning Objectives: By the end of this activity, the participant should be better able to: Identify the anatomy of the lumbar spine on both X-ray and MRI. Employ a systematic approach to evaluate radiographs of the lumbar spine Identify the most common lumbar spine abnormalities/conditions The speaker: Mr Lim Hun Teck Chief […]
