A Comprehensive Bone Pathology Update

This program covers the morphology, biology and growth and development of the skeleton and bone tissue. Lectures are designed to enhance knowledge of disorders of the skeletal system with emphasis on the broad spectrum of benign and malignant neoplasms and select metabolic bone and joint diseases. Information regarding current diagnostic modalities and molecular aberrations complement each discussion and every topic is richly illustrated by an exceptional collection of radiographic and pathological images. The program is ideal for practicing and training pathologists, radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. It will help you to better:

• Understand the morphology and cellular biology of osteoblasts and osteoclasts
• Appreciate how the skeleton is created, develops, grows and remodels throughout life
• Recognize and correctly diagnose benign and malignant bone tumors
• Formulate appropriate differential diagnoses
• Use ancillary studies appropriately
• Have familiarity with the pathologic manifestations of metabolic bone disease and joint disorders
