- Abstract
- Whole-body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques and protocols have been evolving continuously for the last 20 years, resulting in a powerful and mature tool for the detection, staging, and treatment monitoring of many oncologic and musculoskeletal disorders. The unique contrast resolution of MR imaging makes this imaging modality highly sensitive to pathologic alterations in bones, muscles, entheses, joints, and soft tissues, enabling this method to be expanded to the whole musculoskeletal system. Whole-body MR imaging is now used in numerous rheumatic, bone, and muscle disorders, and a full range of developing applications for this method have been emerging.
