Anatomía del codo por imagen de resonancia magnética.

Knowledge of the anatomy of the elbow joint has become intricate due to the advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, as they are superior to represent the different soft tissues. This advantage allows evaluating in detail the increasingly frequent pathologic processes that occur in high performance athletes. The ideal MRI technique includes having the patient in a comfortable position, using an appropriate surface antenna and the right sequences in the appropriate planes depending on the entity. Being familiar with the normal elbow anatomy is crucial to properly identify the pathology and avoid potential diagnostic errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
