Magnetic resonance (MRI) features of flexor enthesopathy (FE) in canine elbow
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the most important cause of elbow lameness in dogs is medial coronoid disease (MCD), recently flexor enthesopathy (FE) has been recognized as an elbow disorder in medium and large breed dogs and is characterized by lesions of the medial epicondyle and the attaching flexor muscles. The differential diagnosis between both elbow disorders is not obvious and a combination of these two elbow diseases is possible. The challenge in these cases is to define the cause of the elbow pain in order to make the correct treatment decision. In both, MCD and FE, the radiographic features may be minimal and indistinct. The aim of this study is to describe the imaging features in dogs suffering FE.

متن کامل3-D RF Coil Design Considerations for MRI
High-frequency coils are widely used in medical applications, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. A typical medical MRI includes a local radio frequency transmit/receive coil. This coil is designed for maximum energy transfer or wave transfer through magnetic resonance. Mutual inductance is a dynamic parameter that determines the energy quantity to be transferred wirelessly by ele...
