Accuracy of abduction-external rotation MRA versus standard MRA in the diagnosis of intra-articular shoulder pathology.

The goal of this study was to compare the accuracy of abduction-external rotation magnetic resonance arthrography (ABERMRA) with standard MRA in the diagnosis of intra-articular shoulder pathology.One hundred three consecutive patients undergoing preoperative direct MRA and subsequent arthroscopic examination were included in the study. Seventy-eight patients underwent standard MRA and 25 under...

Comparison of MDCTA (16-Slice Multi-Detector Row Computed Tomography Arthrography) and MRA (Magnetic Resonance Arthrography) for Detecting Labral Lesions of the Shoulder

phy (MDCTA) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) are superior to computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating shoulder instability (1, 2). Previous reports have indicated that MRA is more accurate for evaluating the capsuloligamentous complex, the glenoid labrum, the intracapsular portion of the long head of the biceps tendon, and the rotator cuff than CT art...

Magnetic resonance arthrography in recurrent anterior shoulder instability as compared to arthroscopy: a prospective comparative study.

AIM To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) arthrographic imaging in the diagnosis of glenoid labral and ligament tears in recurrent shoulder instability. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Prospective, comparative study at a tertiary care centre. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with three or more episodes of anterior shoulder dislocation were enrolled in the study. They were subjected to magnet...

MR-arthrography and CT-arthrography in sports-related glenolabral injuries: a matched descriptive illustration

The combination of a large range of motion and insufficient bony stabilization makes the glenohumeral joint susceptible to injuries including dislocation in young athletes. Magnetic resonance arthrography (MR-arthrography) and computed tomography arthrography (CT-arthrography) play an important role in the preoperative workup of labroligametous injuries. This paper illustrates MR-arthrography a...
