Expected results

• The program is aimed at improving the competence and quality of work of specialists in radiation diagnostics and, accordingly, at improving the results of examination and treatment of patients. Activities within the program will be based on the most up-to-date information and innovative educational technologies, including online broadcasts, interactive voting systems and image processing systems. As a result, an increase in the efficiency of the work of radiologists and radiologists, as well as an improvement in the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic care, is expected. The ultimate goal of the program is to create optimal conditions for the qualitative development of Russian radiology.

• The curriculum will cover such areas of medicine as basic sciences, pathogenesis of diseases, advanced diagnostic technologies, patient safety, clinical research, evidence-based medicine, medical education, quality management, theoretical foundations of radiation imaging methods and others. Educational events are designed to draw public attention to the most effective and cost-effective methods of medical practice and potential ways of its development.

OUR LECTURERS:

School of Radiation Diagnostics held a seminar “CT and MRI of the knee joint”

The School of Radiation Diagnostics hosted another seminar from the cycle of musculoskeletal radiology, dedicated to the knee joint.

This was perhaps the most successful event in terms of recruitment speed. Three days after the announcement, we had to close registration and schedule a second course for June for those who did not have time to register for this one, but would like to improve their knowledge of CT and MRI of the knee joint.

The urgency of this topic, in general, is not surprising: the end of winter, the height of the ski season, frosts alternate with thaws, which is invariably accompanied by black ice – the flow of patients with knee joint injuries is growing every day. And it is all the more pleasant to see doctors who, at the same time, find time for study in order to make diagnostic care for such patients better and more professional. It is gratifying that this time there were many students from the regions, we are sincerely glad for such interest in our School.

Traumatologists were traditionally present at the seminar together with specialists in radiodiagnostics. It was they who opened the event: Musa Maisigov, an orthopedic traumatologist, candidate of medical sciences, gave a lecture on the clinical diagnosis of knee joint injuries, in which he spoke about the most common injuries, their mechanisms, treatment tactics and typical complications. Then Irina Murashina, MRI/CT radiologist, Candidate of Medical Sciences, reminded her colleagues of the MRI anatomy of the knee joint and gave guidance on how to assess this area, in what sequence it is more convenient to do it so as not to miss anything.

A lot of time that day was devoted to the analysis of clinical cases. Indeed, the speakers have accumulated a lot of them, and from recent practice. And the more valuable was the presence of traumatologists, with whom the listeners were able to discuss the full cycle of patient admission – from complaints and symptoms, through diagnosis to treatment and subsequent management.

Head of the School of Radiology Irina Trofimenko gave a lecture to her colleagues about artifacts and ways to minimize them, as well as recommended sequences for examining the knee joint. She was also presented with a report on MRI in non-traumatic injuries of the knee joint.

Mikhail Sinitsky read a report on postoperative visualization of the knee joint. Clinical diagnostics and methods of treatment of diseases of the knee joint were analyzed together with an orthopedist-traumatologist, surgeon, candidate of medical sciences Alexei Afanasiev.

Traditionally, the second half of the day of our courses is occupied by practical work – the analysis of clinical cases.
