MR and CT arthrography of the wrist.
The study of the wrist represents a major diagnostic challenge because of its complex anatomy and the small size of individual structures. Recent advances in imaging techniques have increased our diagnostic capabilities. However, 3T magnets, multichannel specific wrist coils, and new MRI sequences have not restricted the indications of arthrographic imaging techniques (CT arthrography and MR ar...
متن کاملInitial experience with 3D isotropic high-resolution 3 T MR arthrography of the wrist
BACKGROUND Our study was performed to evaluate the image quality of 3 T MR wrist arthrograms with attention to ulnar wrist structures, comparing image quality of isotropic 3D proton density fat suppressed turbo spin echo (PDFS TSE) sequence versus standard 2D 3 T sequences as well as comparison with 1.5 T MR arthrograms. METHODS Eleven consecutive 3 T MR wrist arthrograms were performed and t...
متن کاملWrist MR arthrography: how, why, when.
MR imaging of the wrist frequently represents a diagnostic challenge for radiologists because of the complex anatomy of this joint, small size of its components, and little known pathologic conditions. MR arthrography combines the advantages of conventional MR imaging and arthrography by improving the visualization of small intra-articular abnormalities. This article reviews the current role of...
متن کاملPitfalls in wrist arthroscopy.
Arthroscopy of the wrist is a well-established procedure; however complications, problems and difficulties are possible. The complication rate is estimated to be about 2%, of which equipment failure is probably the most frequent. Injury of the overlying tendons, nerves and even the radial artery has also been described. The anatomy of certain wrists can cause considerable difficulties in obtain...
متن کاملDry wrist arthroscopy.
A RTHROSCOPY AFFORDS SURGEONS the ability to evaluate and treat intra-articular pathology in a direct, minimally invasive manner. Wrist arthroscopy has transformed the way physicians approach wrist disorders. The equipment and principles used are based on the techniques of large joint arthroscopy. Using fluid for articular distention and visualization has traditionally been thought of as an ess...
