[Magnetic-resonance imaging in the diagnosis of overload injuries of bones].
A comparative evaluation was done of quality of roentgenological and magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) data for the early diagnosis of overload injuries of bones. 57 servicemen were examined presenting with the above changes at different stages of the pathological process in the bones of the foot, shank, and thighbone. MRI permits detecting changes in stress-induced injuries of bones 2-3 weeks earlier than X-ray does. MRI has been shown to allow a higher significance judgement about changes taking place in soft and paraossal tissues of the extremity in stress-induced fractures. MRI is an alternative in early diagnosis of stress-related injuries, the repeated roentgenography and MRI help in interpreting plain rhoentgenograms promoting the accuracy of diagnosis in the pathology above mentioned.
