This clinical perspective presents an overview of current and potential uses for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in musculoskeletal practice. Clinical practice guidelines and current evidence for improved outcomes will help providers determine the situations when an MRI is indicated. The advanced competency standard of examination used by physical therapists will be helpful to prevent overuse of musculoskeletal imaging, reduce diagnostic errors, and provide the appropriate clinical context to pathology revealed on MRI. Physical therapists are diagnostically accurate and appropriately conservative in their use of MRI consistent with evidence-based principles of diagnosis and screening.
本临床视角概述了磁共振成像（MRI）在肌肉骨骼疾病诊疗中的当前及潜在应用。临床实践指南和关于改善治疗效果的现有证据将有助于医疗服务提供者确定何时需要进行MRI检查。物理治疗师所采用的高级检查能力标准将有助于防止肌肉骨骼成像的过度使用，减少诊断错误，并为MRI显示的病理情况提供适当的临床背景。物理治疗师在使用MRI时诊断准确且适度保守，符合基于证据的诊断和筛查原则。
