  3. Pros (2)
  4. Cons (3)
A
  1. Demonstrates BONY (T1) and Soft Tissue (T2)
  2. Uses 2 types of images:
    T1 = assess bony anatomy: demonstrates fat within the tissues
    T2 = assess soft tissue: demonstrates tissue with high water content [suppresses fat]
  3. Excellent visualization of tissue anatomy, uses magnetic fields not radiation
  4. $, pt claustrophobia not tolerate well, cannot use if pt has metalic implant

**open MRI better quality than closed MRI

Q

Why would a patient with musculoskeletal condition be given:

  • blood tests
  • serum chemistries
  • immunological tests
  • pulmonary function tests
  • arterial blood gas
  • fluid analysis
A

since many patients with musculoskeletal dysfunction present with other medical pathology it is important to monitor clinical laboratory findings
