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.
Rahul obtained his MBBS and MD in Anaesthesiology in India, followed by training at The Guys’ & St Thomas’ Hospital and the North Central Thames London rotation.
