TY - JOUR T1 - MUsculoskeletal applications of magnetic resonance imaging Y1 - 1989/11/03 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1989.03430170082033 JO - JAMA SP - 2420 EP - 2427 VL - 262 IS - 17 N2 - Magnetic resonance imaging provides superior contrast, resolution, and multiplanar imaging capability, allowing excellent definition of soft-tissue and bone marrow abnormalities. For these reasons, magnetic resonance imaging has become a major diagnostic imaging method for the evaluation of many musculoskeletal disorders. The applications of magnetic resonance imaging for musculoskeletal diagnosis are summarized and examples of common clinical situations are given. General guidelines are suggested for the musculoskeletal applications of magnetic resonance imaging.(JAMA. 1989;262:2420-2427) SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1989.03430170082033 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1989.03430170082033 ER -
