What is MRI of the musculoskeletal system?

MRI uses radio waves and a strong magnetic filed rather than x-rays to provide clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. The parts of the musculoskeletal system that are most frequently imaged are the knees and shoulders. However, MRI has also been used to study almost every joint in the body, including the spine, hips, wrists, and hands. MRI requires specialized equipment and expertise. It allows evaluation of some body structures that may not be visible with other imaging methods.

What are some common indications of MRI?

Because MRI can give such clear pictures of soft tissue structures near and around bones, it is usually the best choice for the examination of the body's major joints, the spine, and the soft tissues of the extremities.

MRI is widely used to diagnose sports-related injuries, as well as work-related disorders strain, vibration, or forceful impact. Using magnetic resonance images, doctors can locate and identify the cause of pain, swelling or bleeding in the tissues in and around joints and bones. The images allow doctors to clearly see even very small tears and injuries in tendons, ligaments and muscles, and even some fractures that cannot be seen on x-rays.

MRI can also give physicians a clear picture of degenerative disorders such as arthritis, deterioration of joint surfaces, or a herniated disk. Neurosurgeons often use MRI to evaluate the integrity of the spinal cord after trauma.

Finally, MRI is also useful for the diagnosis and characterization of infections and tumors involving bones and joints.
