Musculoskeletal System

  • Chapter
Magnetic Resonance Tomography

Abstract

Together with the examination of the brain and imaging of the spinal canal, MR imaging of the musculoskeletal system has been established as a clinically valuable indication for MRI for several decades. There is broad agreement concerning indications, clinical value, and examination technique. Usually MRI is applied in cases in which no definite clarification is achieved by conventional diagnostic procedures. However, more and more clinical settings are arising in which MRI is included early in the diagnostic process.
