OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to optimize anterior MR arthrography of the shoulder by comparing three injection sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients were divided into three groups of 26 each, according to the injection site selected: the upper third of the medial part of the humeral head, the lower third of the medial part of the humeral head, or the area between the m...

purpose: to report a case of capsular bag distension syndrome (cbds) with solid material presenting eight years after cataract surgery. case report: a 58-years-old female who underwent an uneventful clear-cornea phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the right eye, presented with a chief complaint of blurred vision (va: 20/200) and cobweb like matter appearin...

Abstract Objectives To determine the most preferable endoluminal contrast agent among mannitol, polyethylene glycol (PEG), iohexol, and water by comparing various qualitative (distension, fold visibility, homogeneity) quantitative parameters (distension) along with artifacts patient feedback for computed tomography enterography (CTE). Methods This was a prospective study including 120 patients ...

PURPOSE To compare, in a cadaveric model, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques with differing contrast and spatial resolution properties in the evaluation of disruption of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) at the elbow. MATERIALS AND METHODS LUCL tears were surgically created in eight of 28 cadaveric elbow specimens. All specimens underwent 1.5-T MR imaging with the following...

46 Background: Superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) lesions are infrequent injuries, 47 and diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is difficult and controversial. 48 Hypothesis: Based on our clinical experience, the accuracy of the MRI to diagnose a 49 SLAP lesion is less than previously reported. 50 Study Design: Diagnostic Retrospective Study 51 Methods: Between January 2006 and D...
