General Info

This invaluable one day event offers an essential overview of the important radiographic findings that are relevant to diagnosis, surgery and management of patients with spinal disorders.

Radiographic findings in spinal pathology are often overlooked due to a decrease in interpretation skills and the prevalence of other imaging modalities such as MRI. But spinal radiographs can provide extremely useful information. Both the radiologist and surgeon perspectives will be explored to provide participants with increased insight into what is important during interpretation of spinal radiology.

Venue: The Royal Astronomical Society, London
