Key result
Dedicated radiofrequency coils improve the signal-to-noise ratio for musculoskeletal MRI, allowing for faster or higher resolution examinations and assessment of tissue biochemistry.
Dedicated radiofrequency coils are critical for high-quality musculoskeletal MRI, improving signal-to-noise ratio and enabling novel biochemical assessments.
May support dedicated coils in musculoskeletal MRI; leaves open standardization and outcome validation before routine adoption.
Dedicated and specialized radiofrequency coils are critical for high quality musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dedicated coils improve the signal to noise ratio, allowing for faster or higher resolution examinations. Transmit-receive coils can reduce heating at high field strength. Finally, novel radiofrequency coils can be used for assessment of tissue biochemistry, as seen with sodium MRI.

Asher et al. (2010) conducted a review in Musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging. Radiofrequency coils was evaluated. Dedicated radiofrequency coils improve the signal-to-noise ratio for musculoskeletal MRI, allowing for faster or higher resolution examinations and assessment of tissue biochemistry.
