Abstract:
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a well established, non-invasive method in the evaluation of joint pathologies. Basically four different MR imaging techniques are used in the clinical routine: (1) conventional MR imaging of joints, (2) intravenously contrast-enhanced MR imaging of joints, (3) direct MR arthrography with intraarticular injection of contrast medium and (4) indirect MR arthrography after intravenous application of contrast medium. Additionally, a variety of new MR imaging techniques are available and currently used for clinical research. These techniques have a great potential for clinical use in the future.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
