The technology of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging is advancing at a dramatic rate. Magnetic resonance imaging is now done at medium and higher field strengths with more specialized surface coils and with more variable pulse sequences and postprocessing techniques than ever before. These numerable technical advances are advantageous because they lead to an increased signal-to-noise ratio and increased variety of soft tissue contrast options. However, at the same time, they potentially produce more imaging artifacts when compared with past techniques. Substantial technical advances have considerable clinical challenges in musculoskeletal radiology such as postoperative patient imaging, cartilage mapping, and molecular imaging. In this review, we consider technical advances in hardware and software of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging along with their clinical applications.
肌肉骨骼磁共振成像技术正以惊人的速度发展。如今，磁共振成像在中高场强下进行，使用了比以往更多的专用表面线圈、更多样化的脉冲序列和后处理技术。这些众多的技术进步是有利的，因为它们带来了更高的信噪比和更多样化的软组织对比选项。然而，与此同时，与过去的技术相比，它们可能会产生更多的成像伪影。重大的技术进步给肌肉骨骼放射学带来了相当大的临床挑战，如术后患者成像、软骨成像和分子成像。在本综述中，我们将探讨肌肉骨骼磁共振成像在硬件和软件方面的技术进步及其临床应用。
