In the setting of glenohumeral instability or when internal derangement of the shoulder joint is suspected, MR arthrography
has been demonstrated to be an accurate diagnostic imaging technique. Knowledge of the complex anatomy of the shoulder and
its variations is essential in order to maximize diagnostic accuracy.

Objective. To demonstrate the MR imaging findings of anterolateral impingement (ALI) of the ankle.
Design and patients. Nine patients with a history of ankle inversion injury and chronic lateral ankle pain were imaged with MR imaging, and the
findings correlated with the results of arthroscopy. Three additional patients with clinically suspected ALI of the ankle
were also included. Ankle MR imaging studies from 20 control patients in whom ALI was not suspected clinically were examined
for similar findings to the patient group.
Results. MR imaging findings in the patients with ALI included a soft tissue signal mass in the anterolateral gutter of the ankle
in 12 of 12 (100%) cases, corresponding to the synovial hypertrophy and soft tissue mass found at arthroscopy in the nine
patients who underwent arthroscopy. Disruption, attenuation, or marked thickening of the anterior talofibular ligament was
seen in all cases. Additional findings included signs of synovial hypertrophy elsewhere in the tibiotalar joint in seven of
12 patients (58%) and bony and cartilaginous injuries to the tibiotalar joint in five of 12 (42%). None of the control patients
demonstrated MR imaging evidence of a soft tissue mass in the anterolateral gutter.
Conclusions. ALI of the ankle is a common cause for chronic lateral ankle pain. It has been well described in the orthopedic literature
but its imaging findings have not been clearly elucidated. The MR imaging findings, along with the appropriate clinical history,
can be used to direct arthroscopic examination and subsequent debridement.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial process affecting cartilage and subchondral bone. Conventional radiographs are inexpensive
and readily available. The increased knowledge with regard to interpreting weightbearing radiographs of the tibiofemoral joint
and axial radiographs of the patellofemoral joint will enable these examinations to remain competitive techniques compared
with more expensive and sophisticated methods, such as MR imaging, when investigating knee pain to establish the diagnosis
and the severity of OA.

This article outlines the ability of MR imaging in the detection and presurgical evaluation of congenital abnormalities of
the thoracic aorta (CATA). Congenital abnormalities of the thoracic aorta may be found incidentally on chest radiographs in
patients without symptoms, or it can be associated with clinical findings which are very variable depending on the association
with congenital cardiac malformations or vascular ring. When CATA is suspected as the cause of anomalies in the mediastinum
in asymptomatic patients, confirmation of the abnormality should be by MR imaging allowing precise evaluation of the thoracic
aorta and origin of the principal arteries. When CATA is considered because clinical findings indicate coarctation of the
aorta, vascular ring or associated cardiac disorder, evaluation with ultrasound can be complemented by MR, which in most cases
will replace the diagnostic catheterization.

Isolated penile metastasis from bladder carcinoma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Metastases of the penis are uncommon, with only approximately 300 cases reported since 1870. In up to 70 % of patients, the
primary tumour is located in the urogenital tract. Furthermore, isolated metastases of the penis are exceptionally rare. We
report a case of solitary squamous cell metastasis of the penis presenting with painful swelling initially thought to be inflammatory
in origin. The CT and MR imaging findings are presented with a short review of the literature.

MR imaging of brachial plexopathy in breast cancer patients without palpable recurrence 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Sattam S. Lingawi James H. Bilbey Peter L. Munk Peter Y. Poon Barbara M. Allan Ivo A. Olivotto Laurel O. Marchinkow 《Skeletal radiology》1999,28(6):318-323
Objective. To investigate the role of MR imaging in detecting brachial plexus (BP) abnormalities in breast cancer patients with plexopathy
but without palpable masses.
Design. MR imaging of the BP was performed on 26 breast cancer patients with brachial plexopathy without palpable regional masses,
using 0.5 T and 1.5 T imaging systems. Findings were correlated with the clinical diagnoses.
Patients. Twenty-six patients with brachial plexopathy and history of breast cancer were enrolled in the study. All patients presented
with plexopathy symptoms. Fourteen patients were positive and 12 patients were indeterminate for BP metastasis according to
clinical criteria.
Results and conclusion. MR imaging demonstrated masses involving the BP representing metastases in two patients. Nine patients had other regional
abnormalities with a normal brachial plexus. It is concluded that MR imaging is useful in the assessment and direction of
therapy of brachial plexopathy in breast cancer patients by detecting both metastases to the BP as well as other abnormalities,
unrelated to the BP, which may explain the patient’s symptoms.

Objective. To compare four imaging methods in the evaluation of the postoperative meniscus: conventional arthrography, conventional
MR imaging, MR arthrography with iodinated contrast material, and MR arthrography with gadolinium-based contrast material.
Design and patients. Thirty-three patients referred for knee MR examinations with a history of meniscal surgery were studied prospectively. At
the first patient visit, conventional MR examination was followed by an MR arthrogram with gadolinium-based contrast material.
At the second visit, a conventional arthrogram with iodinated contrast material was followed immediately by an MR examination.
Imaging examinations were interpreted by a masked reader, and then compared with the results of repeat arthroscopic surgery
in 12 patients.
Results. The correct evaluation of the status of postoperative menisci was allowed in 12 of 13 patients (92%) by MR arthrography using
gadolinium-based contrast agent, 10 of 13 patients (77%) by conventional MR examination, 9 of 12 patients (75%) by MR arthrography,
and 7 of 12 patients (58%) by conventional arthrography.
Conclusion. Intra-articular fluid is advantageous in the evaluation of patients with a suspected meniscal retear. MR arthrography with
gadolinium-based contrast material is the most accurate imaging method for the diagnosis of meniscal retears.

Marginal erosive discovertebral ”Romanus” lesions in ankylosing spondylitis demonstrated by contrast enhanced Gd-DTPA magnetic resonance imaging 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Objective. To assess the value of Gd-DTPA magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the demonstration of marginal destructive discovertebral
Romanus lesions in ankylosing spondylitis.
Design and patients. A prospective study of Gd-DTPA MR imaging was performed in 39 patients with a clinical diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis
and typical Romanus lesions seen on radiographs of the thoracolumbar spine. MR morphological appearances and signal intensity
changes at the discovertebral junctions were analysed and compared with the radiographic findings.
Results. Ninety-nine discovertebral junctions with Romanus lesions showed low signal intensity on T1-weighted and high signal on
T2-weighted and T1-weighted postcontrast images at the vertebral corners consistent with oedematous hyperaemic inflammatory
tissue. There were nine discovertebral junctions with similar MR findings but normal radiographs. Fifty-three discovertebral
junctions showed syndesmophyte formation with increased signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images with no contrast
enhancement. Sixty-five discovertebral junctions showed a mixture of radiographic features and varied high and low signal
changes at the vertebral rim on MR imaging with rims of enhancement in the vertebral body following contrast administration.
Conclusion. Gd-DTPA MR imaging demonstrates a variable signal pattern and degree of contrast enhancement which may reflect the evolutionary
stages of discovertebral enthesitis in ankylosing spondylitis. MR imaging may identify early erosive changes in radiographically
normal vertebra. The role of MR imaging needs further investigation.

Penile epithelioid sarcoma: MR imaging findings 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Magnetic resonance imaging findings of a 38-year-old man with epithelioid sarcoma of the penis is presented. It started as
a firm, painless and slowly growing nodule at the base of his penis 6 months previously which caused pain radiating to the
testis during coitus. It has been well known that sarcomas may well mimic reactive processes. Initial presentation of epithelioid
sarcoma may provoke considerable diagnostic difficulty, and its differentiation from benign lesions, such as Peyronie's disease
and chronic inflammation, may be a clinical problem. In our present report the MR findings are compared with those of the
epithelioid sarcomas of various locations reported in the literature and differential diagnosis of the entity is discussed.
To our knowledge, this is the first report regarding the MR findings of the epithelioid sarcoma of penis.

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone: MRI features 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Vanhoenacker FM Hauben E De Beuckeleer LH Willemen D Van Marck E De Schepper AM 《Skeletal radiology》2000,29(3):171-175
Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a very rare benign tumor, which may be locally aggressive. In contrast to the well-documented
radiological appearance, the literature on MR imaging features of this tumor is scarce. The MR imaging characteristics in
our case are compared to those previously reported. Although there is a considerable overlap in the MR imaging features with
other bone tumors, an interesting MR feature of desmoplastic fibroma is the presence of low to intermediate signal intensity
foci on T2-weighted images, which radiographically does not correspond to calcifications. This feature may help narrow the
differential diagnosis.

Major NM 《Skeletal radiology》1999,28(11):628-631
Objective. As a therapeutic injection into the subacromial bursa (SAB) is commonly performed for impingement syndrome, it is important
to know whether this fluid can be retained for a period of time and cause confusion with a pathologic collection of fluid.
This study identifies and describes the appearance of recent subacromial injection using MR imaging, and the appearance of
a potential complication.
Design and patients. Fourteen asymptomatic shoulders were studied with MR imaging using fast spin echo T2-weighted imaging (1.5 T) prior to injection
with 7 cm3 of xylocaine. Four shoulders had subacromial fluid and were eliminated from the study. The remaining 10 (9 men, 1 woman;
age range 27–36 years, average age 33 years) were then re-imaged immediately, and at 6, 12 and 24 h after the injection or
until fluid resolved. Each set of images was reviewed for the presence of fluid in the SAB and for additional abnormalities.
Results. Fluid was identified in all subjects in the SAB in the immediate, 6 and 12 h post-injection images. At 24 h, fluid was not
identified within the SAB in eight of 10 patients. In one patient fluid resolved in 48 h. The other continued to demonstrate
fluid in the SAB and in the joint as well as abnormal signal in the infraspinatus muscle from a presumed myositis. Imaging
was performed up to 10 days after the injection in this patient.
Conclusions. It is known that fluid identified in the SAB without evidence of a cuff tear may be due to bursitis. However, if MR imaging
is performed within 24 h of injection, the presence of the fluid may be iatrogenic. In addition, the history of recent therapeutic
injection is very important as complications such as myositis can occur as a result of the injection. Knowledge of injection
prior to imaging is vital for accurate interpretation of MR shoulder examinations.

Diffusion-weighted imaging of the musculoskeletal system in humans 总被引:22,自引:4,他引:18
This article reviews the principles of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and recent results in DWI of the musculoskeletal system.
The potential of DWI in the diagnosis of pathology of the musculoskeletal system is discussed. DWI is a relatively new MR
imaging technique that has already been established in neuroradiology, especially in the early detection of brain ischemia.
The random motion of water protons on a molecular basis can be measured with DWI. To date DWI of the abdomen and of the musculoskeletal
system has only been employed in scientific studies, but first results indicate that it may also be beneficial in these fields.
Different diffusion characteristics have been found in normal tissues such as muscle, fat and bone marrow. Also, pathologic
entities such as neoplasms, post-therapeutic soft tissue changes and inflammatory processes can be differentiated. Normal
muscle shows significantly higher diffusion values than subcutaneous fat and bone marrow, due to a higher mobility of water
protons within muscle. Soft tissue tumors exhibit a significantly lower diffusion value compared with post-therapeutic soft
tissue changes and inflammatory processes. Necrotic tumor tissue can be distinguished from viable tumor due to significantly
higher diffusion of water protons within necrotic tissue.

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) appearances of primary osseous hemangiopericytoma (HPC) have been rarely described. We
report on a 46-year-old Chinese man with primary osseous HPC of the right tibia. The characteristic vascular distribution
of this tumor, presenting with a ”spoke-wheel” appearance on MR images and with angiographic correlation, is described. Although
not pathognomonic, this MR appearance may be an important finding in suggesting the diagnosis of osseous HPC.

Skeletal sarcoidosis is rare. This report describes a 31-year-old African American man who presented with a destructive osteolytic
lesion of C2 and another lesion in a rib. The lesion at C2 was treated with corpectomy and bone graft. Four months later the
lesion recurred and a new lesion was discovered in the cervical vertebral column. The patient declined surgery for instability
for another 3 months, choosing to remain in a halo. Seven months following the initial operation, a technetium bone scan showed
spread of the disease to the calvarium and thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. The patient had no symptoms referable to these sites.
The patient agreed to have his neck fused at this point. For the next 10 months, the patient was on steroids and a further
new lesion appeared at L5 without localizing signs or symptoms. The patient declined further evaluation over the next 12 months
and is now considered lost to follow-up.

Indirect wrist MR arthrography: the effects of passive motion versus active exercise 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Purpose.In the wrist, to determine whether passive motion or active exercise yields a better indirect MR arthrographic effect following
intravenous gadolinium administration.
Design and patients. Twenty-six consecutive patients were studied by indirect wrist MR arthrography. In half active exercise and in half passive
motion was performed. Four regions of interest were studied including the distal radioulnar joint, the radiocarpal joint,
the midcarpal joint, and the triangular fibrocartilage. Ranges and means of signal intensity were calculated. Surgical follow-up
was performed in 22 patients.
Results. The joint fluid intensity was greatest in the distal radioulnar joint. Fluid signal intensity was greater and more consistent
in the passive motion group although the results did not achieve statistical significance. Imaging accuracy appeared similar
in the two groups and was excellent for the triangular fibrocartilage (100%) and scapholunate ligaments (96%).
Conclusion. Active exercise and passive motion yield similar degrees of wrist arthrographic effect, but the effect of passive motion
is somewhat more consistent. Preliminary data show good accuracy for internal derangements.

Sports-related injuries of the lower extremity are frequent. Before magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was available, ultrasound,
radionuclide scintigraphy and computed tomography were used to evaluate muscle trauma. Although relatively inexpensive, these
imaging modalities are limited by their low specificity. The high degree of soft tissue contrast and multiplanar capability
of MR imaging, allow direct visualization as well as characterization of traumatic muscle lesions. This pictorial review highlights
the spectrum of traumatic muscle lesions on MRI, with emphasis on its typical appearances.

The benign vascular tumors of bone represent a diverse group of tumors that can present with a broad spectrum of clinical
signs and symptoms. They can also present a significant diagnostic challenge due to their widely variable radiographic imaging
and histologic features. Some of the tumors manifest as clearly benign lesions with tissue-specific diagnostic imaging features,
while others have non-specific imaging features that may simulate malignant neoplasm. This article will provide a review of
the nomenclature and the characteristic radiographic and pathologic features of the benign vascular lesions of bone. The information
will aid in improving our diagnostic accuracy and enhance our understanding of the biologic potential of this diverse group
of osseous lesions.

Disorders of the hallux sesamoid complex: MR features 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Numerous painful conditions can affect the first metatarsophalangeal-sesamoid joint complex. Symptoms can be of sudden or
insidious onset, and be of acute or chronic duration. Although conventional radiography is recognized as the initial diagnostic
procedure for these symptoms, there is often a need to proceed to MR imaging. MR imaging is sensitive and can be utilized
in the investigation of the hallux sesamoid complex to differentiate soft tissue from osseous pathology. Synovitis, tendonitis,
and bursitis can be distinguished from bony abnormalities such as sesamoid fracture, avascular necrosis, and osteomyelitis.
An understanding of MR imaging features and techniques will result in the highest diagnostic yield. Early and accurate diagnosis
of sesamoid complex disorders can guide the physician to the appropriate clinical management and prevent potentially harmful
longstanding joint dysfunction. 相似文献

Radiology of the spleen 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The spleen is generally not considered a challenge to the radiologist. Most often it poses a problem by anomalies or an irregular
but normal contrast enhancement; however, a variety of inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic diseases may involve the spleen.
CT and ultrasonography are screening modalities for the spleen. For problem solving, MR imaging can be helpful, especially
due to its free choice of the imaging plane and because of the high resolution in contrast MR imaging. Splenic angiography
as a diagnostic tool has generally been replaced by CT, ultrasound, or MR and is now used as an interventional method, e.
g., in non-surgical management of patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia or in patients with splenic trauma. This
article reviews the radiology of the spleen, including anatomy, embryology, splenomegaly, splenic injury, infarction, cysts,
tumors, abscesses, sarcoidosis, and AIDS. Knowledge about the use of different imaging modalities and underlying gross and
microscopic pathologic features leads to a better understanding of the radiologic findings.

Objective. To evaluate the use of routine MR imaging sequences in detecting and characterizing secondary reactive synovitis of the knee
joint using arthroscopy as the standard of reference.
Design and patients. Fifty consecutive patients with a history of knee pain who were referred for MR imaging and subsequently underwent arthroscopy
of the knee comprised the study group. MR images were evaluated for the presence and appearance of synovitis reflected in
synovial thickening and irregularity. Synovial thickening was graded on MR imaging as follows: 0=normal, 1=thin line of increased
signal intensity, 2=increased signal intensity with frond-like or hair-like projections and a granular appearance of joint
fluid. Standard knee imaging protocols were used.
Results. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MR imaging in detecting synovitis compared with arthroscopy were 88%, 97%,
and 95%, respectively. Grade 1 synovitis was best seen on proton-density-weighted images, demonstrating increased signal intensity
of the synovium against the relatively low signal intensity of the joint fluid. Grade 2 synovitis was best seen on proton-density
images and T2-weighted spin echo and fast spin echo images with fat saturation, demonstrating a granular and linear hair-like
appearance of joint fluid. Axial and sagittal imaging planes were most helpful in the diagnosis of synovitis.
Conclusion. Routine MR pulse sequences are useful in identifying the presence and extent of synovial abnormalities. The detection of
different stages of synovial pathology should become an important part of the evaluation of the post-traumatic patient as
treatment may be altered as a result.
