Dear Dr. Makes and Dr. John George,

Me and stephanie had a great time in jakarta.  We like to thank you for giving us a royal treatment. Everything went smooth.  It was a pleasant surprise.  The attendees/locals were all very nice to us.  They went out of their way to make conversations with me and stephanie.  It was a pleasant group.

Thank you for all the pearls we picked-up.  Me and stephane were saying that even after fellowship training (stephanie at San Diego, under Dr. Resnick and me at National University Hospital in Singapore, under Prof Wang and others) and 3-4 years of  reading MSK MRI and musculoskeletal imaging in general,  some things that we did not understand just fell into place and we finally understood them due to the method of teaching applied at this course !!  This is especially true with ultrasound.  The correlation with anatomy and the technique of doing MSK ultrasound suddenly became understandable and doable. I finally was also able to appreciate the value of ultrasound in superficial tendons and liagments versus MRI as repeatedly emphasized by Prof. Jon George. 

Prof Dr John George  taught things in a way that things were understood and retained.  I should also say the same for Dr. Paulos.   He also contributed a lot of  pearls in MSK MRI and ultrasound. 

I think the strengths of the course are the following:

1)  excellent and qualified instructors.
2)  real MRI and ultrasound cases with interactive discussion with the delegates.
3)  hands on ultrasound training
4  the use of individual laptops facilitating better appreciation of the  digital images.
5)  small group facilitating a more personalized approach

We advise that for the course cater to teach more MSK MRI anatomy(*please note below) so that the pathology will be easier to understand for general radiologists with little background in seeing anatomy .
