Recent clinical experience has shown MR imaging to provide useful information in detecting, assessing, and characterizing sports-related disorders of the elbow. This article discusses features of MR imaging, including noninvasivness; accurate depiction of structures (muscles, ligaments, and tendons), and presence and extent of bone and soft tissue pathology; and visualization (nerves, bone marrow, and hyaline cartilage). The article also reviews ongoing improvements in surface coil design, and newer pulse sequences resulting in MR images that are higher in quality and available more quickly. |
