,Chapter 1: General Principles of Musculoskeletal Imaging



Case 1

Case Scenario:
A 32-year-old construction worker presents with recurrent knee pain
following a minor injury six months ago. His primary care physician
orders repeated radiographs despite the chronic nature and poor
diagnostic value of plain films in soft tissue assessment.

Key Issues:

 Inappropriate modality selection
 Delayed definitive diagnosis
 Radiation exposure concerns

Guiding Questions:

 When is MRI preferred over plain radiographs?
 How does the ALARA principle guide imaging decisions in
chronic conditions?
 What educational interventions can reduce unnecessary imaging?

Suggested Solution:
Recommend MRI as the gold standard for soft tissue injuries. Reinforce
the ALARA principle to the care team and incorporate clinical decision-
support tools to guide imaging selection.

,Case 2

Case Scenario:
A rural hospital lacks advanced imaging modalities. A 68-year-old
patient with suspected femoral neck fracture cannot be confirmed via
plain radiographs due to poor image quality and overlapping bowel gas.

Key Issues:

 Imaging access disparity
 Diagnostic uncertainty
 Rural resource limitations

Guiding Questions:

 What are alternatives when ideal imaging is unavailable?
 How can telemedicine or teleradiology support underserved
settings?
 What protocols can mitigate risk while awaiting transfer?

Suggested Solution:
Stabilize the patient and arrange transfer to a regional facility with CT.
Use clinical exam scoring systems and consult via teleradiology.
Advocate for mobile CT units in rural care planning.



Case 3

Case Scenario:
A 10-year-old boy presents with elbow pain after a fall. The physician
hesitates to order X-rays due to concerns over pediatric radiation
exposure.

Key Issues:

 Balancing diagnostic necessity vs. radiation risk

,  Pediatric imaging standards
 Incomplete ossification complicating interpretation

Guiding Questions:

 How does ALARA apply to pediatric imaging?
 What guidelines determine the necessity for radiographs in
pediatric trauma?
 How can non-ionizing modalities be better integrated?

Suggested Solution:
Use the Pediatric Elbow Rule to guide imaging necessity. Employ
ultrasound as a first-line screening. Educate providers on growth plate
considerations in imaging interpretation.



Case 4

Case Scenario:
A patient with suspected metastatic bone disease refuses imaging due to
fear of radiation-induced cancer.

Key Issues:

 Patient education
 Informed consent
 Risk vs. benefit of diagnostic procedures

Guiding Questions:

 How should providers address patient radiation fears?
 What alternatives are appropriate?
 How does informed consent apply in imaging?

Suggested Solution:
Provide comparative risk data and emphasize diagnostic necessity. Offer
