Shear Wave ImagingModerators: Kai Thomenius, PhD, and Anne Hall, PhDColumbia · North Tower/Lobby LevelIn the last 5 years, researchers have started to pursue a new dynamicmode of strain imaging, sometimes called “shear wave imaging.” Theobjective of this course is to have the attendees gain an understandingof the underlying physics of this new and very exciting form of elastographyand its likely clinical applications such as liver fibrosis.8:15 AM–8:35 AM Introduction to Shear Wave AnalysisStanislav Emelianov, PhD8:35 AM–8:55 AM Shear Wave Propagation Induced by Radiation StressProvides Data for Estimation of Tissue ElasticityJames Greenleaf, PhD8:55 AM–9:15 AM Elasticity Using Crawling WavesKevin Parker, PhD9:15 AM–9:35 AM Shear Wave Analysis: Clinical ImplicationsKathryn Nightingale, PhD, and Mark Palmeri,MD, PhD9:35 AM–9:45 AM Panel Discussionx Wrist and Hand UltrasoundModerator: Ralf Thiele, MDSan Diego C · North Tower/Lobby LevelThe objective of this course is to review ultrasound of the hand andwrist. In addition to a review of anatomy and the ultrasound scanningtechnique, topics will include both wrist and hand pathology such ascarpal tunnel syndrome, tendon abnormalities, joint processes and cysts,and rheumatologic applications. At the conclusion of this course, participantswill be familiar with common pathologies related to the hand andwrist and understand the role of musculoskeletal ultrasound.Thursday, March 13 • Convention8:15 AM–8:35 AM Anatomy and TechniqueCarolyn Sofka, MD8:35 AM–9:05 AM Wrist PathologyJon Jacobson, MD9:05 AM–9:20 AM Finger PathologySharlene Teefey, MD9:20 AM–9:35 AM Wrist and Hand Ultrasound in RheumatologyRalf Thiele, MD9:35 AM–9:45 AM Questions and Answers25
