Musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic imaging performed to visualize bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone marrow, and related soft tissues. This MRI provides high-resolution images of these structures to detect the abnormalities in them. Musculoskeletal MRI reporting refers to the services of remote analysis of MRI scans by radiologists specializing in the musculoskeletal field. This facilitates more accurate and rapid diagnosis of the disorders of the musculoskeletal system
The organs and supporting structures that can be assessed using musculoskeletal MRI are explained below:
Bones:
Bones are dense tissues in the body, and they provide structural support and support for movement. These can be affected by fractures, erosion, rupture, etc. Musculoskeletal MRIs help in detecting abnormalities like fracture, disruption, edema, collapse, and deformity.
Joints:
Joints are the points where two or more bones connect. Joints are crucial for mechanical movement of the bones, and disorders involving the joints can hamper this movement. Using musculoskeletal MRI, complications like effusion, thickening, narrowing, laxity, and instability.
Muscles:
Muscles are supporting structures attached to the bones and support bodily movement. These muscles are prone to abnormalities like strain, tear, edema, etc. Musculoskeletal MRI can easily diagnose muscle-related issues like polymyositis, dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis, muscular dystrophy, pyomyositis, muscle strain, rhabdomyolysis, and rhabdomyosarcoma.
Listed below are the different types of musculoskeletal MRIs:
Non-contrast musculoskeletal MRI
Contrast-enhanced musculoskeletal MRI
MRI arthrography (direct)
MRI arthrography (indirect)
Cartilage-specific MRI
MR neurography
MR myography
MR elastography
Bone marrow MRI
Whole-body musculoskeletal MRI
Diffusion-weighted musculoskeletal MRI
Perfusion MRI
Dynamic contast-enhanced MRI
Discography-assisted MRI
Functional (kinematic) spine MRI
Some of the typical conditions diagnosed by musculoskeletal MRI are listed below:
Ligament tears
Tendon tears
Muscle strains and ruptures
Meniscal tears
Labral tears
Bone contusions
Occult fractures
Osteoarthritis
Degenerative disc disease
Cartilage degeneration
Tendinopathy
Facet joint degeneration
Synovitis
Inflammatory arthritis
Sacroiliitis
Enthesitis
When the patient reports to the hospital with a musculoskeletal complaint, a consulting physician assesses their condition.
Based on the case requirement, the accurate radiological examination must be selected (in this case, it is a musculoskeletal MRI).
The MRI is carried out by a technician, and the images are obtained.
These images are sent to Statim Healthcare for further analysis. The patient’s clinical data is also sent, as it is important for diagnosis.
Based on the case, a specialty radiologist is appointed for the MRI reporting.
The radiologist carefully analyzes the images for any abnormalities.
The image findings are correlated with the patient’s clinical history to accurately detect the cause of the complication.
Based on the diagnosis and conclusion, a detailed report is prepared and electronically signed by the radiologist.
This report is encrypted and electronically sent to the consulting physician for further treatment.
