MR-arthrography and CT-arthrography in sports-related glenolabral injuries: a matched descriptive illustration
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 and CT-arthrography findings acquired at the same time on the same subjects to illustrate common causes and sequelae of shoulder instability. Teaching Points • MR-arthrography and CT-arthrography are equivalent for SLAP and full-thickness rotator cuff tears.• CT-arthrography is superior in evaluating osseous defects and cartilage surface lesions.• MR-arthrography is superior in evaluating intrasubstance and extra-articular tendinous injuries.

متن کاملDual Contrast Ct Method Enables Diagnostics of Acute Cartilage Injuries Using a Single Ct Image
Articular cartilage damage caused by a sudden accidental mechanical impact, e.g., a fall or sports accident, is a relatively common injury. Such injuries and related tissue degeneration can be detected using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) [1] which currently relies on two subsequent scans at 0minute (arthrography) and 45-minute (delayed arthrography) time points. Injured tissue is...

متن کاملMR 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...

MR arthrography has become an important tool for the assessment of a variety of ankle disorders. MR arthrography permits more sensitive imaging of suspected intra-articular pathology in cases in which conventional MR imaging is either insufficient or inadequate for diagnosis or treatment planning. The main indications for MR arthrography are the evaluation of ligamentous injuries, impingement s...
