The cartilaginous structures at the ends of growing bones constitute the "growth mechanism." These structures are not visible on radiographs, but they can be seen with MR imaging. Improved definition of cartilaginous abnormalities by MR imaging may permit earlier detection and treatment of these disorders and thus prevent bone deformity. This pictorial essay contains examples of normal and abnormal growth cartilage as seen with MR imaging. The indications for MR imaging in the evaluation of certain growth disorders are discussed, and the usefulness of MR imaging in certain clinical situations in which the role of this technique is still evolving is illustrated.
