Other Hip Abnormalities

Another hip region imaging application of potential interest to physiatrists involves the use of technetium bone scanning to evaluate recently described “thigh splints” caused by exaggerated stride length by short female basic trainees in the unisex-oriented military (34). Seven cases of thigh pain in female recruits at one military base were imaged after administration of […]

Ischemic Necrosis of the Hip

One of the common indications for MRI of the hip is to are the standard radiographs performed for the assessment determine the presence of ischemic necrosis. This is bone of hip joint abnormalities (26). The presence of osteoarthri death produced by a compromised blood supply. It also has tis, bone tumors, and soft-tissue calcifications can […]

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

MRI can serve as an adjunct diagnostic tool for CTS when the clinical or neurophysiologic findings are equivocal. The carpal tunnel is a fibro-osseous space with little fat that contains the flexor tendons and the median nerve. The flexor retinaculum composes the volar aspect of the tunnel and normally shows slight palmar bowing. The median […]

Elbow Imaging

Plain film radiographic examination of the elbows should be the initialevaluation forpatients withchronicelbowpain. Radiographs can be useful for the assessment of calcium within the joint compartment or periarticular soft tissues. Standard frontal and lateral radiographs are used for the routine evaluation of the elbow joint. Radiographic examination of the elbow has a minimal RRL. MRI […]

Tendinitis or Rupture of Other Shoulder Muscles

Tendinitis and rupture also can involve the subscapularis, infraspinatus, and teres minor, or biceps tendons, although far less commonly than the supraspinatus. Early tendinitis involves an increased signal intensity area within the tendon. This can progress to frank rupture of the tendon with a high–signalintensity area at the site of the tear on T2-weighted images […]

Shouder Instability and Disruption of the Antetior Capsular

For the assessment of shoulder instability and labral tears, it is imperative that intra-articular contrast medium be injected in order to be able to evaluate the entire articular labrum, glenoid fossa, and capsular mechanism (12). Axial MR images provide the best visualization of the anterior and posterior glenoid labra, capsule, and lower rotator cuff muscles […]

Shoulder Imaging Overview

Plain film radiographic evaluation of the shoulder should include frontal examinations with internal and external humeral rotation. If there is a question of instability or dislocation, an axillary view, a scapular Y view, or both should be obtained. There have been several reports that recommend the use of a 30-degree caudad-angled radiograph or a suprascapular […]

Musculoskeletal Imaging Overview

The advent of the multidetector CT (MDCT) scanner has increased the applicability of this imaging technique for the assessment of the musculoskeletal system. This technology allows for the acquisition of large data set in the axial plane that can be reconstructed in multiple planes of imaging with the use of multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) algorithm. Any […]
