      abstract     = {This narrative review explores recent advancements and
                      applications of modern low-field (≤ 1 Tesla) magnetic
                      resonance imaging (MRI) in musculoskeletal radiology.
                      Historically, high-field MRI systems (1.5 T and 3 T) have
                      been the standard in clinical practice due to superior image
                      resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. However, recent
                      technological advancements in low-field MRI offer promising
                      avenues for musculoskeletal imaging. General principles of
                      low-field MRI systems are being introduced, highlighting
                      their strengths and limitations compared to high-field
                      counterparts. Emphasis is placed on advancements in hardware
                      design, including novel magnet configurations, gradient
                      systems, and radiofrequency coils, which have improved image
                      quality and reduced susceptibility artifacts particularly in
                      musculoskeletal imaging. Different clinical applications of
                      modern low-field MRI in musculoskeletal radiology are being
                      discussed. The diagnostic performance of low-field MRI in
                      diagnosing various musculoskeletal pathologies, such as
                      ligament and tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and cartilage
                      lesions, is being presented. Moreover, the discussion
                      encompasses the cost-effectiveness and accessibility of
                      low-field MRI systems, making them viable options for
                      imaging centers with limited resources or specific patient
                      populations. From a scientific standpoint, the amount of
                      available data regarding musculoskeletal imaging at
                      low-field strengths is limited and often several decades
                      old. This review will give an insight to the existing
                      literature and summarize our own experiences with a modern
                      low-field MRI system over the last 3 years. In conclusion,
                      the narrative review highlights the potential clinical
                      utility, challenges, and future directions of modern
                      low-field MRI, offering valuable insights for radiologists
                      and healthcare professionals seeking to leverage these
                      advancements in their practice.},
