If you are already familiar with the anatomy of the menisci of the knee joint and would now like to concentrate on different patterns of meniscal lesions, then this is the right module to get you started.
The radiologist Wolfgang Fischer has prepared eight pathological cases and two companion cases to illustrate the most important meniscus lesions. For differential diagnosis, there are also various meniscus changes that can be traced back to degenerative processes in the knee.
Wolfgang Fischer is a practising musculoskeletal radiologist. He studied medicine at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany), Geneva (Switzerland) and Montpellier (France). From 1992 to 2008, he worked in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Neuroradiology at Augsburg municipal hospital (Germany). During his radiology training, he focused on musculoskeletal imaging and worked in several specialized departments. He was a visiting scholar at the University of California San Francisco in 1999. Since 2008 he has been working in a highly specialized MRI department in an orthopedic hospital.
He is the co-author of several books and co-editor of a standard textbook on musculoskeletal radiology. Dr. Fischer has gained popularity as a speaker at conferences and MRI courses. He is an active member of the DRG, DGMSR, ESSR and ISS. In 2018 he received the Eugenie-und-Felix-Wachsmann award for merits in radiologic education (awarded by the German radiological society).
He also published the App MRI-ESSENTIALS on musculoskeletal radiology, which is regularly updated.
