This Unit of Study explores the application of standard Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) sequences, protocols, and techniques used in clinical musculoskeletal imaging. These techniques include variations of spin echo, gradient echo, and inversion recovery. MRI hardware, RF coils, spatial encoding, fat suppression techniques, and common image artifacts are reviewed. MR safety aspects from the perspective of both staff and patients are discussed. Learning is supported by relevant website and video resources together with peerreviewed clinical and research publications to demonstrate the appropriate application of different MR sequences and modifications required for a range of MSK patient presentations.
