Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic imaging modality introduced in the mid-1980s that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to create pictures of organs and structures of the body. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of the use of MRI for knee injuries, including its advantages and limitations, along with research outcomes for the healthcare provider. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
