چکیده

Evaluation of the feasibility of virtual magnetic resonance (MR) arthroscopy was performed on 10 patients referred for MR arthrography of the shoulder, the elbow, or the knee. A fast spoiled contrast-enhanced three-dimensional gradient-echo sequence was combined with image postprocessing to render arthroscopic views. Virtual MR arthroscopy was successfully demonstrated in all 10 joints. Determination of added diagnostic benefit will require further study.

Diagnostic performance of 3D SPACE for comprehensive knee joint assessment at 3 T

OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic performance of 3D sampling perfection with application-optimised contrasts using variable flip-angle evolution (SPACE) turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequences compared to 2D TSE for comprehensive knee assessment at 3 T. METHODS From January to July 2011, isotropic 3D SPACE was added to a 2D knee protocol at 3 T. Forty patients underwent subsequent arthroscopy. Three...

Volumetric depth peeling for virtual arthroscopy

Three dimensional (3D) display of medical data sets is an increasingly useful tool. Viewing 3D reconstructions of objects from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) data is more natural and intuitive than mentally reconstructing these objects from orthogonal slices of the data, especially with the increase in size of datasets due to improving scanner resolutions. Whe...

Diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance arthrography of the shoulder in the evaluation of anteroinferior labrum abnormalities: a prospective study

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography of the shoulder in the diagnosis of anteroinferior labrum lesions, using arthroscopy as the reference standard and to classify these lesions. METHODS Institutional review board approval was obtained. The study population included 59 consecutive patients with history and clinical diagnosis of acute or chro...

MRI characteristics of cysts and “cyst-like” lesions in and around the knee: what the radiologist needs to know

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS A variety of benign cystic or "cyst-like" lesions may be encountered during a routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. These lesions comprise a diverse group of entities from benign cysts to complications of underlying diseases. In addition, normal anatomic bursae and recesses may be misdiagnosed as an intra-articular cystic lesion when they are distended. Ho...
