Patrick McLaughlin FFR(RCSI), Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

Savvas Nicolaou MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

1) Discuss scope, clinical presentation and rationale for screening of knee pathology 2) Discuss the imaging modalities and spectrum of imaging findings for diagnosing knee pathology, with a focus on dual energy CT, and illustrate with imaging examples with MRI correlation 3) Review the utility of imaging in management and diagnosis of knee pathology 4) Review novel imaging techniques for maximizing the identification of normal anatomy and pathology of the knee using CT

-Review the pathophysiology, epidemiology and clinical presentation of knee injuries -Review the normal anatomy and important landmarks of the knee and supporting structures on CT and MRI -Review the utility and limitations of imaging modalities used for the assessment of knee anatomy and pathology -Demonstrate the spectrum knee injuries using imaging examples, including bone marrow edema, urate deposition, meniscal pathology, ligamentous pathology, and bony/cartilaginous pathology -Discuss an imaging-based management algorithm for identification of knee pathology -Discuss new imaging techniques and technology applicable for maximizing the identification of normal anatomy and pathology of the knee on CT
