The discipline of musculoskeletal radiology has evolved into a major imaging subspecialty in the years since the first use of x-rays to diagnose fractures. Musculoskeletal radiology expertise has experienced enormous developments in diagnostic sensitivity and specificity and in image-guided treatment options, in addition to technologic advances far beyond x-rays. Advances in cross-sectional imaging such as CT and MR imaging and educational and research endeavors have contributed further to the growth of musculoskeletal radiology as a distinct subspecialty.
自从首次使用X射线诊断骨折以来的这些年里，肌肉骨骼放射学这一学科已发展成为一个主要的影像亚专业。除了远超X射线的技术进步外，肌肉骨骼放射学专业知识在诊断敏感性和特异性以及图像引导治疗选择方面也取得了巨大进展。CT和MR成像等横断面成像技术的进步以及教育和研究工作，进一步推动了肌肉骨骼放射学作为一个独特亚专业的发展。
