A focus on the use of multimodality imaging including x-ray, ultrasound, CT, and MRI will help delegates to appreciate some of the advantages and disadvantages of utilising different imaging modalities used commonly in MSK practice.

There will be opportunities for Q&As after each presentation and discussions will be encouraged between attendees and faculty.
