Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, with its unique ability to noninvasively image and characterize soft tissue, has shown promise in assessment of cartilage. The development of new, fast imaging methods with high contrast will improve the MR evaluation of cartilage morphology. In addition to morphological MR imaging methods, MR imaging contrast mechanisms under development may reveal detailed information regarding the physiology of cartilage. However, many of these methods remain to be tested in the clinical setting. Protocol selection for cartilage imaging requires understanding of the patient population and the advantages and limitations of these techniques.
磁共振（MR）成像凭借其无创成像和表征软组织的独特能力，在软骨评估方面已显示出前景。具有高对比度的新型快速成像方法的开发将改善对软骨形态的MR评估。除了形态学MR成像方法外，正在开发的MR成像对比机制可能会揭示有关软骨生理学的详细信息。然而，这些方法中的许多仍有待在临床环境中进行测试。软骨成像的方案选择需要了解患者群体以及这些技术的优缺点。
