MR imaging provides clinically useful information in assessing the elbow joint. Superior depiction of muscles, ligaments, and tendons as well as the ability to visualize nerves, bone marrow, and hyaline cartilage directly are advantages of MR imaging relative to conventional imaging techniques. These features of MR imaging may help to establish the cause of elbow pain by accurately depicting the presence and extent of bone and soft-tissue pathology. Ongoing improvements in surface coil design and newer pulse sequences have resulted in higher quality MR images of the elbow that can be obtained more rapidly. Recent clinical experience has shown the utility of MR imaging in detecting and characterizing disorders of the elbow in a noninvasive fashion.
磁共振成像（MR成像）在评估肘关节方面提供了具有临床实用价值的信息。与传统成像技术相比，MR成像的优势在于能更好地显示肌肉、韧带和肌腱，还能直接观察神经、骨髓和透明软骨。MR成像的这些特性有助于通过准确描绘骨骼和软组织病变的存在及范围来确定肘部疼痛的病因。表面线圈设计和更新的脉冲序列的不断改进，使得能够更快速地获得更高质量的肘部MR图像。最近的临床经验表明，MR成像在以非侵入性方式检测和鉴别肘部疾病方面具有实用性。
