Abstract

Imaging, an essential diagnostic tool found ubiquitously in modern clinical practice, is particularly useful for evaluating musculoskeletal (MSK) pathology. However, technical errors in imaging and imaging artifacts are pitfalls that frequently diminish image quality and may lead to misinterpretation of radiologic studies by radiologists and clinicians. This review describes the causes and imaging appearances of the more common and important MSK imaging technical errors and artifacts in radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and MSK intervention that may potentially lead to erroneous interpretation. Where applicable, strategies to mitigate the impact of these pitfalls are also discussed.

影像是现代临床实践中无处不在的重要诊断工具，对评估肌肉骨骼（MSK）病理特别有用。然而，成像中的技术错误和成像伪影是经常降低图像质量的陷阱，并可能导致放射科医生和临床医生对放射学研究的误解。这篇综述描述了在x线摄影、超声、计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和MSK干预中更常见和重要的MSK成像技术错误和伪影的原因和成像表现，这些技术错误和伪影可能导致错误的解释。在适用的情况下，还讨论了减轻这些缺陷影响的策略。

期刊介绍： Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology is a review journal that is devoted to musculoskeletal and associated imaging techniques. The journal''s topical issues encompass a broad spectrum of radiological imaging including body MRI imaging, cross sectional radiology, ultrasound and biomechanics. The journal also covers advanced imaging techniques of metabolic bone disease and other areas like the foot and ankle, wrist, spine and other extremities. The journal''s content is suitable for both the practicing radiologist as well as residents in training.
