About RheumaXP Global Edition
Designed for radiologists, rheumatologists, and MSK trainees who want a structured, report-oriented framework for rheumatology imaging, RheumaXP Global Edition is a structured, case-based course in rheumatology imaging led by Dr. Sergio Viana, musculoskeletal radiologist and author of Manual de Diagnóstico por Imagem em Reumatologia (Dilivros, 2024) and Joint Imaging in Childhood and Adolescence (Springer, 2013/2019). Through approximately 18 hours of on-demand classes in a Netflix-like premium members’ area, you will build a practical framework to interpret and report the key imaging patterns across inflammatory arthritis, spondyloarthritis, crystal disease, infection, pediatric entities, and the rheumatologic spine.
Enrollment includes a full calendar year of access and a direct channel to the faculty for questions and practical guidance as you apply the concepts to your day-to-day reporting. The English audio tracks were generated with AI dubbing to accelerate production and support a global launch. On-demand format, no live attendance required.
