Abstract
Diffusion-weighted imaging is increasingly becoming popular in musculoskeletal radiology for its incremental role over conventional MR imaging in the diagnostic strategy and assessment of therapeutic response of bone and soft tissue lesions. This article discusses the technical considerations of diffusion-weighted imaging, how to optimize its performance, and outlines the role of this novel imaging in the identification and characterization of musculoskeletal lesions, such as bone and soft tissue tumors, musculoskeletal infections, arthritis, myopathy, and peripheral neuropathy. The readers can use the newly learned concepts from the presented material containing illustrated case examples to enhance their conventional musculoskeletal imaging and interventional practices and optimize patient management, their prognosis, and outcomes.
