“…In the subsequent decades, multiple important innovations in MR hardware resulted in increased field strength and gradient strength, whereas substantial improvements in coil design, including the introduction of multichannel receiving coils, combined to dramatically change both acquisition times and image quality. 37,38 These advances in technical innovations are described in detail in an excellent review by Ai et al 39 Furthermore, the development of advanced pulse sequences such as fast spin echo sequences, parallel imaging, short echo-time MRI, and MRI spectroscopy truly revolutionized MSK radiology. [39][40][41][42][43] Technical advances in MSK MRI continue at a rapid pace today with the introduction of pulse sequences that allow for imaging of metal prosthetics 44 and with high-resolution 3D sequences for imaging of articular cartilage.…”

The past 50 years have transformed imaging of the joints. Whereas musculoskeletal imaging consisted predominantly of conventional radiography when Investigative Radiology was founded as a journal, the arrival of new imaging modalities, and above all, the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging, resulted in a paradigm shift: In addition to visualizing osseous structures, now the detailed depiction of soft tissue structures became part of routine clinical imaging and had a major impact on understanding pathophysiology and patient treatment. This article analyzes the patterns of innovation that were essential for the transformation of musculoskeletal radiology. Furthermore, state-of-the-art joint imaging is described through 9 key concepts, including both cutting-edge clinical applications as well as topics at the forefront of musculoskeletal research. Eventually, emerging trends are outlined that will likely shape musculoskeletal radiology in the next decades. The past 50 years have transformed imaging of the joints.
