MRI assessment of pelvic trauma.

This article details the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing patients with pelvic pain resulting from musculoskeletal trauma and its differential diagnoses. There are numerous pathologies seen in and around the pelvis that frequently present with a confusing clinical picture. The anatomy is complex, with imaging assessment difficult. There is substantial overlap between conditions, and knowledge of a wide spectrum of disease is needed to successfully interpret pelvic MRI.
