A lot of patients ask these question: Why MRI doctor, why not X Ray or CT? Us it harmful? So presenting MRI in Orthopaedics: A Comprehensive Overview Introduction Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has emerged as an indispensable diagnostic tool in the field of orthopedics, revolutionizing the assessment of musculoskeletal conditions. Its ability to provide detailed images of bones, joints, soft tissues, and nerves without the use of ionizing radiation has made it the gold standard for many orthopedic diagnoses. This comprehensive overview delves into the intricacies of MRI in orthopedics, exploring its applications, advantages, limitations, and potential future directions. Principles of MRI MRI operates on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance, utilizing the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei, primarily hydrogen protons, to generate images. In a strong magnetic field, these protons align with the field, and when exposed to radiofrequency pulses, they absorb and ...
