Rheumatology Rounds : Advances in Musculoskeletal Imaging: Rheumatology

This is the bone-and-joint decade, and it certainly could be considered the bone-and-joint imaging decade as well because there have been many advances and changes in imaging -- diagnostic and therapeutic imaging -- that are directly relevant to musculoskeletal. While there are exciting things going on in radiography, ultrasound, CT, etc., I will focus today on MRI. Functional imaging cuts across all of these modalities. Flexion-extension radiographs, dynamic ultrasound, and kinematic MRI should all be considered part of functional imaging in the broad sense. We'll talk about what clinicians need to know when they are looking at MRI imaging to evaluate patients with rheumatologic conditions.
