MRI is an excellent diagnostic tool in the imaging of sports-related musculoskeletal pathology; however, standard slice thickness acquisitions can lack the spatial resolution to accurately define and characterise osseous abnormalities. Standard MRI sequences may be supplemented with CT to reduce diagnostic uncertainty. We provide a clinical perspective, in the form of pictorial review, on the potential applications of 3D MRI sequences, specifically using volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination in the characterisation of various musculoskeletal osseous pathologies. The potential to negate the requirement for CT in a young radiation sensitive cohort is a clinically significant concept and suggests the requirement for further studies comparing the performance of volumetric MRI to CT.
MRI 是一种出色的运动相关肌肉骨骼病理学影像学诊断工具；然而，标准的切片厚度采集可能缺乏空间分辨率，无法准确地定义和描述骨骼异常。标准的 MRI 序列可以补充 CT 以降低诊断的不确定性。我们以图片回顾的形式提供了 3D MRI 序列的潜在应用的临床观点，特别是在描述各种肌肉骨骼骨骼病变方面使用容积内插屏气检查。在年轻的辐射敏感人群中消除对 CT 的需求具有重要的临床意义，这表明需要进一步研究比较容积 MRI 与 CT 的性能。
