Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Like computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become increasingly sophisticated and available over the past decade. MRI is now the modality of choice for imaging most soft tissue pathology, especially sports related injury of muscle and joint

MRI has the fundamental advantage that it is nonisonising, and therefore noninvasive, is highly accurate and has a very high predictive value. MRI has now largely supplanted joint arthrography, which is an invasive and unreliable investigation.here is an example of the outstanding resolution available with MRI.
