Musculoskeletal (MSK) MRI is rapidly evolving, with new advancements enhancing both morphological and quantitative imaging. This talk explores emerging techniques that improve diagnostic accuracy, optimize imaging protocols, and provide deeper insights into tissue properties. Key topics include high-resolution morphological imaging, novel pulse sequences, and advanced quantitative methods such as T2 mapping, gagCEST, sodium and UTE MRI. These innovations aid in early disease detection, treatment monitoring, and biomechanical assessment. The session will also discuss AI integration and its impact on MSK imaging workflows. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge MRI developments shaping the future of musculoskeletal radiology.
