Artifacts, normal variants, and imaging pitfalls of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging.
This article is an early attempt to catalogue some of the many artifacts, normal variants, and imaging pitfalls that the authors have seen in musculoskeletal MRI. The study of such phenomena is potentially very rewarding and may help to prevent some cases of misdiagnosis with MRI.
