New Technologies in Joint Disease Diagnosis: The Role of MRI and Ultrasound

Abstract

This article explores modern diagnostic methods for joint diseases with a particular focus on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US). These imaging modalities provide high accuracy in diagnosing inflammatory, degenerative joint diseases, and injuries. The article discusses emerging technologies such as ultrasound elastography, multi-slice MRI, and 3D imaging, which significantly enhance the diagnosis and treatment of joint diseases. A comparative analysis of MRI and US is provided, along with their advantages, limitations, and clinical applications. Emphasis is placed on the integration of MRI and ultrasound into a comprehensive diagnostic approach, which allows for accurate and timely detection of pathologies, thereby improving treatment outcomes and patient quality of life.
