Springer, 2017. — 328 p. — ISBN: 978-3-319-54017-7.The International Diagnostic Course in Davos (IDKD) is a unique learning experience for imaging specialists and clinicians. The course is useful for experienced radiologists and nuclear physicians, imaging specialists in training, and clinicians wishing to be updated on the current state of the art in all relevant fields of musculoskeletal imaging.
This IDKD syllabus includes imaging of joints, bones, soft tissue, and the spine. In addition, there will be satellite courses covering pediatric radiology and nuclear medicine in more depth. These courses are also represented in the current Syllabus, as well as our traditional breast imaging satellite course.
During the last few years there have been considerable advances in the field of musculoskeletal imaging driven by clinical as well as technological developments. These will be highlighted in the workshops given by internationally known experts in their field. The presentations encompass all relevant imaging modalities including CT, MRI, hybrid imaging, sonography, and standard radiography.
This Syllabus contains condensed versions of the more than two dozen topics discussed in the IDKD workshops. As a result, this book offers a comprehensive review of the state-of-theart musculoskeletal imaging.
The IDKD Syllabus was initially designed to summarize the relevant information for the course participants and to allow them to fully concentrate on the lectures and participate in the workshop discussions without the need of taking notes. However, the Syllabus has developed into a complete update in musculoskeletal imaging for radiologists, radiology residents, nuclear physicians, and clinicians interested in imaging.
