To have a better understanding and familiarized with arm transplant procedure, follow up and outcome. Be aware of the importance of the diagnostic imaging modalities and current technologies for proper patient selection, as well as its utility prior, during and after intervention. To address patient self image and transplant overall integration

A. Anatomy characteristics at the level of amputation as well as functioning units. B. Diagnostic Imaging methods for patient selection and prior to procedure (Rx, US, CT, MR) C. Review of the indications and contraindications of this procedure D. Diagnostic Imaging asessment in the follow-up of transplant integration and/or complications; as well as an ilustrative description of a Case-based imaging findings E. Long term expectations   Arm transplant imaging educational exhibit will focus on imaging characteristics for the asessment prior, during and after procedure; it is expected to help in the understanding of the reconstructive requirements and mecanisms of integration for this composite tissue allotransplant. Patient's body self image, as well as functionality should be asess in a long term follow up
