The backbone of any knee pathology or cartilage lesion treatment is a good diagnosis which largely depends on a good MRI scan and a good MRI reporting. As Joint Preservation Surgeons, we always face a challenge of proper assessment of knee pathologies and cartilage lesions. Along with this, a level-understanding between the MR-Radiologist and the Surgeon is equally important. The MR-Radiologist must know the expectations of the Surgeon and vice versa. We are very happy to announce a half day dedicated Knee MR Radiology Workshop, a first of its kind in Asia. It is designed to improve understanding and coordination between the Surgeon and the MR-Radiologist. The best part is that this workshop will be conducted by the top-most MR-Radiologists in the World, Dr Siegfried Trattnig from Austria and Dr Steven Wong from Singapore. They will be joined by the top-notch selected Indian faculties as well. Not to mention, we plan to cover all nooks and corners of the knee joint which are often thought of, but rarely reported with a confidence.
The workshop will be a half day workshop from breakfast to lunch on 24th January 2025 at the conference venue itself. We encourage MR-Radiologists to bring their arthroscopy surgeon colleague and vice versa; so that in clinical practice you can understand each other better.
