Diagnostic Imaging covers basic principles and interpretation of diagnostic imaging modalities as they apply to all healthcare providers with imaging privileges or those interested in gaining further knowledge in this field. The emphasis is on the basic physics of imaging techniques, viewing and interpreting films, radiographic anatomy, and clinical correlation with patient cases. Specific types of imaging, including x-rays, scintigraphy, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, MR arthrography, CT and computed tomography will be discussed. Case examples will be applied to general orthopedic conditions and sports injuries involving the upper and lower quarters.  The correlation of clinical findings with the diagnostic imaging results will be discussed in specific case examples.
