What You’ll Learn:

  • How MRI imaging actually works (without physics overload).

  • When to refer for MRI, MRA, or alternative imaging based on symptoms and presentation.

  • Differences between T1, T2, PD, STIR, and fat-suppressed images.

  • What various tissues (bone, nerve, muscle, tendon, disc, labrum) look like on different imaging sequences.

  • How to read MRIs of the lumbar spine, knee, and shoulder with confidence.

  • Practical case studies to apply diagnostic and referral decision-making.

Why This Matters:

Too many PTs hesitate to engage with imaging, leading to missed diagnoses, wasted time, and lost clinical confidence. This lecture gives you:

  • A framework for decision-making and image interpretation.

  • Clarity on the utility and limitations of imaging modalities.

  • Communication scripts to influence physicians without stepping on egos.

  • Real-world guidance on how to serve your patients better with MRI insight.

Built for providers who want to lead the plan, not just follow the report.
