title: Imaging of the elbow. An update.
abstract: This article focuses on the use of magnetic resonance in the evaluation of the soft tissue (tendons, ligaments, muscles, and nerves) and osseous structures of the elbow. The need for high quality, high resolution imaging with attention to positioning, sequence selection, and equipment is emphasized. Normal magnetic resonance anatomy and criteria for pathologic change are presented.
