Mri of Muscle Injuries
نویسنده
چکیده
Skeletal muscle is the single largest tissue in the body, making up 25-50% of one’s total body weight. As radiologists, we image many of the body’s 434 muscles each day -both intentionally and incidentally. When evaluating the health of muscle, our most sophisticated radiological technique is MRI [1-2]. In this session, we review four topics that aid in understanding and diagnosing injuries of muscle: [I] normal anatomy; [II] MRI indications and technique; [III] pathological conditions; and [IV] differential diagnosis and diagnostic pitfalls.
