MR Imaging Tools to Assess Cartilage and Joint Structures

Authors: Hollis G. Potter, MD, Matthew F. Koff, PhD

Excerpt

Standing radiographs provide important information regarding angular deformities and weight-bearing alignment of the joints, but provide only indirect information about joint integrity. Given its superior soft tissue contrast and direct multiplanar acquisition with the ability to accurately assess the complex geometry of various joints, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly suitable tool by which to assess osteoarthritis (OA). …
