Imaging of articular pathology: MRI, CT, arthrography

The purpose of this review article is to present the advantages and limitations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and arthrography for evaluating articular pathology. Techniques, patient selection, indications and contraindications for each modality are reviewed.
