Overview
Musculoskeletal MRI provides high resolution images of joints and soft tissues. It evaluates ligaments tendons cartilage and bone marrow. It is essential for sports injury assessment.
Joint Pathology
MRI detects meniscal tears ligament injuries and cartilage defects. It guides orthopedic management and surgical planning. It helps monitor postoperative healing.
Bone Marrow Imaging
MRI identifies marrow edema infection and neoplasm. It differentiates benign from malignant processes with specific sequences. Contrast enhancement improves lesion characterization.
Advanced Techniques
MR arthrography and quantitative cartilage imaging enhance diagnostic capability. New sequences assess biochemical cartilage changes. These techniques support early intervention and research.
