Registered Musculoskeletal (RMSK) Registry Review
Registered Musculoskeletal (RMSK) Registry Review Online Course is designed to prepare the physician and clinician to successfully take the RMSK Ultrasound Registry exam. Upper and lower extremity joints are covered in great detail, along with two mock examinations. All presentations include anatomy/physiology, scan protocols and normal sonographic characteristics, pathology, integration of data and treatment/interventional techniques.
The RMSK Registry Review Online Course also provides a comprehensive review of Sonography Principles & Instrumentation (Physics) since 28% of the exam pertains to ultrasound physics. This online course is the ideal choice for examination preparation, plus reinforcement of interpretation skills to improve competence and confidence to perform and/or interpret MSK ultrasound examinations.
Additionally, the GCUS Registry Review PASS Guarantee offers you access to the online course version of your registry review program for 90 days if you do not pass your registry exam after completing one of our review programs. Just send us a copy of your exam score (registry exam must be taken within six months of our review) and we’ll grant you a 90 day access to the online course version of the review.

Objectives
- MSK Objectives...
- Increase the participants' knowledge to better perform and/or interpret MSK ultrasound examinations.
- Outline appropriate transducer selection, system optimization and identify commonly seen artifacts associated with MSK ultrasound.
- State scanning protocols for performing shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, knee, ankle, foot and hip ultrasound examinations.
- Identify normal anatomy during musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging.
- Recognize ultrasound characteristics of commonly seen pathology of the shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, hand, ankle, foot and hip.
- Outline the use of MSK sonography for diagnosis and treatment options, including ultrasound-guided interventions.
- Integrate all patient and imaging data for effective analysis of examination results.
- Identify areas that may require further study.
- Increase knowledge and competence for successful registry examination completion.
- SPI Objectives...
- Increase the participants’ knowledge to better perform diagnostic ultrasound examinations.
- State the elementary principles of ultrasound, including definition of ultrasound,
- basic properties and units of measure.
- Describe the fundamental principles of sound and the propagation of sound in soft-tissue.
- Cite the different types of transducers, focusing, sound beam formation and the various types of resolution including: axial, lateral, contrast and temporal.
- Recognize components and terminology of ultrasound equipment and instrumentation.
- List the advantages of Doppler, Color Flow and Color Power Imaging.
