“…24 Increasingly, MRI is used to diagnose and stage myopathic conditions such as polymyositis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and polio, potentially leading to earlier medical and physical therapy interventions and delaying progression of the disorder. 25,26 The diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention for chronic inflammatory MSK disease such as ankylosing spondylitis may be facilitated by MRI. Based on the ability to provide accurate assessment of inflammatory lesions and bone edema, the effectiveness of therapy may be assessed.…”

This clinical perspective presents an overview of current and potential uses for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in musculoskeletal practice. Clinical practice guidelines and current evidence for improved outcomes will help providers determine the situations when an MRI is indicated. The advanced competency standard of examination used by physical therapists will be helpful to prevent overuse of musculoskeletal imaging, reduce diagnostic errors, and provide the appropriate clinical context to pathology revealed on MRI. Physical therapists are diagnostically accurate and appropriately conservative in their use of MRI consistent with evidence-based principles of diagnosis and screening.
