Popis: In a nation-wide multicentre study, the use of MRI was examined in its clinical context and in relation to other imaging methods and as a routine examination. It was found that examinations of the brain and spine were predominant. MRI is accurate for certain problems affecting the extremities, the pelvis and the liver. The findings also show that there are still technical limitations. A high degree of accuracy can only be obtained if there is adequate information concerning individual problems. Technical limitations include the frequent appearance of artifacts. In its present state, MRI can only supply additional information, concerning the trunk only, in certain situations. The study also outlines the development of MRI and the role of other conventional diagnostic procedures.
