♦ Each modality of imaging—digital radiography, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine studies—has its own advantages and disadvantages♦ Conventional radiography is the best for initial evaluation of a musculoskeletal problem♦ MDCT rapid survey of multiple trauma patients is easily performed using the new high speed computed tomography scanners♦ MRI is the imaging modality of choice for internal derangement of the knee and other soft tissue injuries♦ Radionuclide bone imaging is most suitable for screening the whole skeleton for metastases♦ Positron emission tomography is useful for identification of tumour, inflammation, and infection.
