Imaging and Pain course
This session describes the use of various imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of long-term pain conditions.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- List the indications and limitations of different imaging techniques used in pain medicine
- Request appropriate investigations to help identify common painful conditions
- Identify anatomical structures on x-ray views of the spine for intervention techniques
- Explain the purpose of functional MRI (fMRI) in pain medicine
Imaging techniques are used in diagnosis, therapy and intervention management of various chronic pain conditions.
