Magnetic resonance imaging in orthopaedic surgery. A glimpse into the future

ND Reis, A Lanir, J Benmair, and H Hadar

Magnetic resonance images (MRI) were obtained of 10 healthy volunteers and 70 patients suffering from various orthopaedic disorders. Selected images of soft tissue, joint, bone and spinal abnormalities are presented and their interpretation is described. Although we have been using MRI for only a very short time, it is already possible to see its advantages: it provides good images of soft-tissues, detailed pictures of bone marrow, and excellent visualisation of the spine and spinal cord. The decision-making process in surgical procedures will in the future be influenced by this technique.
