ABSTRACT

Some bone lesions caused by acute trauma or unusual mechanical loading are not detected in X-rays, either because they are inapparent or for misdiagnosis. MRI has proven to be a useful tool for diagnosing these occult lesions to X-rays due to its high spatial resolution and ability to discriminate the different types of tissue. This diagnostic method is indicated for stress hidden or fractures avulsion.
