Significant progress has been made in comparing numerical simulations with radio images of astrophysical jets. One is no longer forced to compare density slices through an axisymmetric jet simulation with observed Stokes I images. With the advent of MHD codes and modern supercomputers, models can now be constrained by all four Stokes parameters. In this paper, recent efforts to simulate synchrotron emission images of extragalactic radio jets are reviewed.
