Abstract
People of all ages are now spending more time participating in sports, both competitive and recreational. This increase in participation has been accompanied by increase in number of joints injuries (Dyson et al,2006).
Conventional radiographic techniques demonstrate the Osseous structure of the joints, but provide only limited evaluation of soft tissue anatomy. With magnetic resonance imaging, it is now possible to accurately asses the integrity of ligaments, tendons and muscles detecting the changes in these tissues (Armfield et al,2006).
MRI provides a comprehensive, panoramic, and multi-planar image of both superficial and deep soft-tissue structures. Although MRI resolves bone mineral poorly, it is the ideal modality whenever a detailed characterisation of bone marrow disorder is sought. This gives MRI a special place in evaluating osteochondral injury, osteonecrosis, bone bruising, bone stress, and transient osteoporosis of the joint (orchard et al,2005).
