Abstract

This review focuses on the most frequent whole-body MRI applications in patients with rheumatological pathologies, for which this tool can be helpful to both radiologists and clinicians. It reports technical aspects of the acquisition of both 1.5 and 3.0 T scanners. The article lists the main findings that help radiologists during the evaluation of a specific pathology, both in the diagnostic phase and during follow-up.

Keywords: Bone; Joint; Muscles; Rheumatology; Whole-body MRI.
