“Digital“ MRI: The Finger and Toes
نویسنده
چکیده
Consistent high quality MR imaging of the fingers and toes present a challenge for even the newest of high performance MR technologies. Consistent delineation of fine anatomic detail is accomplished utilizing small fields of view, high performance high field strength MRI systems and dedicated quadrature coils. Referrals from hand surgeons and foot surgeons for MR imaging of the fingers and toes are predicated on excellent depiction of anatomic structures in normal and pathologic states surpassing the image quality demonstrable on early MR units and on current low-field strength MR systems.

Microgeodic Disease Affecting the Fingers and Toes in Childhood: A Case Report
Microgeodic disease is a disease of unknown etiology that affects the fingers and toes of children, with ≥ 90% of cases involving the fingers alone. We present a rare case of microgeodic disease affecting an index finger and two toes simultaneously in a 7-year-old girl. X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple small areas of osteolysis in the middle phalanges of the left index...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical study of skin nerve regeneration after toe-to-finger transplantation: correlations with clinical, quantitative sensory, and electrophysiological evaluations.
Cutaneous nerve regeneration following toe-to-finger transplantation was studied by immunohistochemical technique using antibody to protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) which is a specific neuronal marker. By this technique, epidermal and dermal nerves were semi-quantified and the Meissner's corpuscles were quantified. There were also quantitative sensory tests (QST) including pinprick, pressure ...

The aim of the present study was to assess ultrasonography (US) for the detection of inflammatory and destructive changes in finger and toe joints, tendons, and entheses in patients with psoriasis-associated arthritis (PsA) by comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), projection radiography (x-ray), and clinical findings. Fifteen patients with PsA, 5 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and ...
متن کاملDetecting differences in volume pulse wave parameters among fingers and toes in four different postures.
The measurement of volume pulse waves may be easily affected based on the measured position (different fingers or toes), body posture, as well as other factors. Therefore, interferences during measurement need to be removed. For this study, relevant parameters of volume pulse wave were obtained by changing the affecting factors. The data were analyzed in order to indicate the differences in vol...
