2003年,诺贝尔医学奖授予对MRI发明的贡献,反映了MRI对医学的不可思议的价值。自2003年以来,在获取MR图像方面取得了巨大的技术进步。然而,MRI有一个复杂的、容易发生事故的阴暗面;图像未经校准,相应的图像取决于机器设置、采集技术参数、重建技术、数据传输、滤波和后处理技术中的各种主观选择。好的一面是,了解MR技术增加了解开组织特征的机会。在这种观点下,我们总结了不同的主观选择,可以生成MR图像和放射科医生和风湿科医生之间的沟通,以正确解释图像的重要性。
In 2003, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded for contribution to the invention of MRI, reflecting the incredible value of MRI for medicine. Since 2003, enormous technical advancements have been made in acquiring MR images. However, MRI has a complicated, accident-prone dark side; images are not calibrated and respective images are dependent on all kinds of subjective choices in the settings of the machine, acquisition technique parameters, reconstruction techniques, data transmission, filtering and postprocessing techniques. The bright side is that understanding MR techniques increases opportunities to unravel characteristics of tissue. In this viewpoint, we summarise the different subjective choices that can be made to generate MR images and stress the importance of communication between radiologists and rheumatologists to correctly interpret images.
