Medical Imaging in Geriatric Physical Therapy Part I: Musculoskeletal Imaging
Participants of this webinar will be provided an introduction to musculoskeletal imaging applications in geriatric physical therapy. Part 1 in our 2-part series will cover basic concepts of medical imaging, routine and special views of the spine and lower extremities, and selection of most appropriate imaging modality given a particular patient/ client presentation. The course will also discuss clinical reasoning applications on how to incorporate imaging information in the physical therapy patient/client management of an older adult with musculoskeletal conditions.
Course objectives:
(1) Describe basic concepts and principles of musculoskeletal image acquisition and interpretation.
(2) Identify normal and abnormal musculoskeletal anatomy on radiographs, CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
(3) Correlate the information obtained from medical images with the physical therapist’s examination findings.
(4) Recognize findings in medical images that would trigger a medical referral.
(5) Understand the indications when imaging is required

Medical Imaging in Geriatric Physical Therapy Part II: Neuromuscular Imaging
The second in a 2-part series, this webinar will focus on the use of medical imaging in physical therapy practice. This presentation provides an introduction to neuromuscular imaging applications in geriatric physical therapy. This course will cover basic concepts of imaging for neurologic conditions that are pertinent to geriatric physical therapy practice, with the focus on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The course will also discuss role of imaging in analysis of patient’s clinical presentation and to incorporate the information to guide physical therapy patient management of an older adult with neurological conditions.
Course objectives:
(1) Describe basic concepts and principles of neurological image acquisition and interpretation.
(2) Identify normal and abnormal anatomy on CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
(3) Discuss role of imaging in clinical analysis of patient presentation
(4) Incorporate imaging information for clinical decision making related to Physical Therapy examination and intervention selection.
