AB  - No  single  modality  is  all-encompassing  for  musculoskeletal  diagnosis.  Rather,  each  modality  is  like  a  tool  in  a  toolbox,  used  to  perform  specific  functions  and  solve  specific  diagnostic  problems.  For  instance,  while  radiographs  (“X-ray  films”)  are  useful  as  screening  tools  for  appendicular  (extremity)  fractures,  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  is  a  more  useful  tool  for  diagnosing  meniscal  tears  in  the  knee.  Used  in  varying  combinations,  the  different  modalities  can  diagnose  and  characterize  a  wide  range  of  musculoskeletal  pathology.  Herein,  we  describe  the  various  common  modalities  in  clinical  application  and  some  examples  of  their  usages.
