Keywords: Musculoskeletal: Joints, Musculoskeletal: Skeletal, Musculoskeletal: Muscular

This talk will present the clinical applications of MRI in the diagnosis and evaluation of chronic non-spinal musculoskeletal traumatic conditions that may be seen in routine clinical practice, highlight the advantages and impact of MRI in non-invasive imaging across a wide gamut of chronic musculoskeletal traumatic conditions occurring in different patient groups, as well as its excellent ability in depicting both soft tissue and bony injuries that are often occult with other conventional imaging modalities.

Abstract

This talk will present the clinical applications of MRI in the diagnosis and evaluation of chronic non-spinal musculoskeletal traumatic conditions that may be seen in routine clinical practice. The case examples span the ages from childhood to the elderly, as well as in healthy and disease states. Conditions presented include but are not limited to fatigue fractures, rhabdomyolysis, chronic growth plate injuries (eg. SCFE, physeal stress injuries), sports injuries e.g. athletic pubalgia and atypical femoral fractures etc. These serve to highlight the advantages and impact of MRI in non-invasive imaging without ionizing radiation across a wide gamut of chronic musculoskeletal traumatic conditions occurring in different patient groups, as well as its excellent ability in depicting both soft tissue and bony injuries that are often occult with other conventional imaging modalities.
