Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important tool in detecting musculoskeletal injuries and traumatic events. It is not definitive, if using a MRI could be an accurate way for detection of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in detecting and diagnosing acute trauma. Physicians typically use clinical tests, but this has also not been found to provide a conclusive diagnosis. It appears as if both a MRI and clinical tests should be used in conjunction for the best decision-making in MSD. This review explores previous research pertaining to the use of MRI in the detection of MSD and explore if a MRI could add accuracy to a physical examination in MSD or traumatic injuries. This review made use of PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and other available sources with MRI, MSD, detection, acute injury, clinical tests, as keywords ranging from 2011 until 2019. © Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
