The Role of Muscle Imaging in Orthopaedics

  • Chapter

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gradually emerging as the premier method of depicting muscle pathology. In this chapter we will examine the role of this technique in modern orthopaedic practice by presenting current clinical applications of MRI. We will also speculate about the potential of MRI to provide more economical diagnostic information in the future through decreases in imaging time and cost.
