Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates surface anatomy, nerves, and soft tissue pathology. Selective placement of the cursor lines in MRI displays specific anatomy. The MR images can then be used as adjunct in teaching surface anatomy to medical students and to other health professionals. Because the normal surface anatomy could be imaged at UCLA's radiology department, it was decided to image soft tissue abnormalities with MR to assist in patient care. Patients imaged were scheduled for special procedures of the chest or staging lymphangiograms. Patients were placed into categories depending on known diagnosis or interesting clinical presentation. The diagnostic categories included Hodgkin's disease, melanoma, carcinomas (eg, lung or breast), lymphedema, sarcomas, dermatological disorders, and neurological disorders. All images were orchestrated by the radiologist. This article discusses both the teaching and clinical impact on patient care.
磁共振成像（MRI）可显示体表解剖结构、神经及软组织病变。在MRI显示屏上选择性放置光标线可显示特定的解剖结构。然后，这些MR图像可作为辅助工具，用于向医学生和其他健康专业人员教授体表解剖学。由于加州大学洛杉矶分校放射科能够对正常体表解剖结构进行成像，因此决定利用MR对软组织异常进行成像，以协助患者护理。接受成像的患者已安排进行胸部特殊检查或分期淋巴管造影。根据已知诊断或有趣的临床表现将患者分类。诊断类别包括霍奇金病、黑色素瘤、癌（如肺癌或乳腺癌）、淋巴水肿、肉瘤、皮肤病和神经疾病。所有图像均由放射科医生整理。本文讨论了其对教学及患者护理的临床影响。
