[Abstract] This article summarizes the orthopedic MR imaging techniques provided by Siemens Ltd. Small-sized dedicated local coils can support high resolution imaging of joints, and multiple elements of these coils realize parallel imaging. Transmitter-receiver coil can avoid aliasing from other anatomies and reduce whole body SAR; Some advanced sequences are introduced, including: syngo BLADE which can reduce motion artifact, three point tse DIXON which can reduce the artifact from metal implants and syngo SPACE with which isotropic data can be acquired; Besides morphological imaging, biochemical imaging can be achieved by syngo MapIt with simplified in-line workflow. With all above the-state-of-art techniques, clinical oriented protocols optimized for every joint are provided.
