Abstract

The ability of MRI to demonstrate soft tissue lesions is unexcelled by other imaging methods as reported by many authors since 1984.1-13 The sensitivity and discriminating ability of MRI for muscle and connective tissue pathology is shown throughout this book. The majority of this discussion will center on its use in evaluation of mass-like lesions involving muscle. The combination of clinical history and computed tomographic (CT) or plain x-ray imaging techniques has frequently provided valuable anatomic information and occasionally a specific diagnosis of lesions involving muscle.2,14-22 Although not as anatomically precise, the utility of ultrasound and nuclear medicine techniques have been documented on many occasions21-34 and continue to remain useful. State-of-the-art ultrasound and ionizing radiation techniques used for muscle imaging are discussed in Chapters 1 and 2. As more experience is gained in evaluating soft tissues with MRI, the distinctive patterns of injury and their variants are being recognized and the number of misdiagnoses are becoming fewer for those who have gained experience in this area of MRI. The experience gained by radiologists has allowed greater diagnostic specificity in the routine clinical settings. This is expected to continue with further usage of MRI for muscle evaluation.
