AI-assisted diagnostics
How machine-guided scanning may change point-of-care imaging, from probe placement to measurement to the report.
Will the machine read the image before you do?
AMSKU Annual Global Summit '26
Saturday, December 5, 2026. A fully virtual event.
One full day of virtual education for clinicians building musculoskeletal ultrasound and orthobiologics into their own practices. Every speaker answers one question: where does their corner of the field land by 2036?
The theme for 2026 is The Next Decade Starts in Your Hands. Each speaker looks ten years ahead and says, plainly, where their part of the field will be by 2036.
Four questions frame the day. Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes with live Q&A, across three tracks.
How machine-guided scanning may change point-of-care imaging, from probe placement to measurement to the report.
Will the machine read the image before you do?
What may come next beyond today's PRP and cell-based approaches, and what the evidence will need to look like to earn a place in clinic.
What replaces the injections we trust today?
The role of in-office imaging and same-visit diagnosis, and what it does to the referral chain when the answer is available in the room.
Does the patient still need to leave the building?
How clinical autonomy, cash-based models, and integrated diagnosis and treatment may evolve for the clinicians who own their practice.
What does an independent MSK practice look like in 2036?
The summit runs on RingCentral Events. Sessions play on the stage, and three times in the day the stage goes quiet and the exhibition hall is the only room open.
Pre-course CME modules on the AMSKU website, worked through on your own schedule, so the summit day can open at the advanced discussion instead of the basics.
Sessions of 30 to 45 minutes with live Q&A inside each one, and the exhibition hall open in all three breaks.
Every session is recorded for attendees. Each speaker's prediction goes on the record, to be opened again in 2036.
Summit passport. Earn a stamp at each exhibition booth you spend thirty seconds in or ask a question at. Completed cards are drawn live from the stage before the closing speaker.
Built for the people who choose the probes, the protocols and the platforms their practice will run for the next decade: physicians, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine clinicians, practice owners and MSK leaders.
Clinicians who scan real patients every week, alongside the people building the businesses around them.
Twenty-seven speakers are confirmed so far, with more invitations out. Twelve of them also taught at the 2025 summit.
