Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the preferred imaging modality for evaluating internal derangement of the knee, due to its superior soft tissue contrast resolution, multiplanar imaging capability, and lack of…
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the modality of choice for evaluating the soft tissues of the thigh and leg because of its superior soft tissue contrast resolution, multiplanar imaging capability,…
Magnetic resonance imaging is the optimal modality for characterizing the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and neurovascular structures of the wrist and hand. Continued refinement in pulse sequence and coil design permits…
New developments in musculoskeletal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, including improved spatial resolution and MR arthrography, have led to an increasing frequency in the performance of shoulder MR imaging. As a…
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the breast is a useful tool for the assessment of both structural and functional anatomy. A basic approach to the interpretation of normal…
The long bones of the upper extremity are often overlooked in favor of addressing their intervening joints. However, there are a wide variety of pathologic processes that can involve these…
Over the past few decades, spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MR imaging) has largely replaced computed tomography (CT) and CT myelography in the assessment of intraspinal pathology at institutions where MR…
The soft tissue contrast properties of magnetic resonance (MR) allow excellent discrimination of most intrathoracic structures other than the lungs, and allow good insight into normal anatomy. Using MR imaging,…
The normal MR imaging appearance of the neck can be confusing given the number and complexity of structures that pass through it. This article strives to simplify normal MR imaging…
Accurate delineation, diagnosis, and treatment planning of skull base lesions require knowledge of the complex anatomy of the skull base. Because the skull base cannot be directly evaluated, imaging is…
