The educational objectives of this article are to describe the common magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) artifacts in musculoskeletal imaging and to provide simple and easy solution with image-based explanation.

CONTENT ORGANIZATION 1. To illustrate the various MR artifacts that correlated with field inhomogeneity, the off center position, high resolution image for small joints, fat-suppression techniques, metal and flow, etc. 2. To describe simple and easy methods to overcome, including reposition into near iso-center, using insensitive sequences, swapping encoding directions and changing of voxel size, etc. Conclusion Understanding the easy and simple methods to overcome MR artifacts allows radiologists to improve the image quality and can make more confident diagnosis.
