Synopsis

MRI is a highly utilized imaging modality for the diagnosis of a wide spectrum of pathologies. But how does it add value to patient care in today’s healthcare environment? During this lecture, we will describe how to properly define value in terms of imaging. We will see how MRI is a cost-effective tool for the diagnosis of important musculoskeletal pathologies. We will appreciate how shortened MRI protocols greatly improve patient experience and comfort. Finally, we will see how MRI reduces the need for other types of imaging during the work-up of common musculoskeletal conditions.
