Mellanby Centre – ECTS Training Course: Identification of Vertebral Fractures

18 June 2021
ECTS 2021 Digital Congress

Course overview:

Up to one in five older people will have a vertebral fracture, but most are unaware of this. Such fractures can be diagnosed by spinal radiographs but more recently, the bone densitometer has been used for this purpose: vertebral fracture assessment. The use of this technique is increasing worldwide; this course aims to give a basic training on the identification of vertebral fractures.

Target audience:

This day-long course is open to clinicians, scan technicians and nurses involved in developing and delivering fracture risk assessment services.

Objectives:

At the end of the course, participants should:

  • understand the importance of vertebral fracture identification
  • understand the principles of good quality image acquisition
  • be aware of the different methods used to identify vertebral fracture
  • recognise non-fracture vertebral deformities
  • recognise the clinical features of vertebral fracture

Programme:

The training course will be held within the ECTS 2021 Digital Congress Programme.
