The utility of high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in studying a variety of intratesticular and extratesticular pathologic conditions was assessed. The high magnetic signal intensity of the testis provided an excellent background for visualization of intratesticular abnormalities. Except for old blood, all intratesticular processes were less intense than testis, especially on T2-weighted images. The visualization of the tunica albuginea is a distinct advantage, allowing its assessment in cases of trauma or testicular tumors. Epididymal and spermatic cord abnormalities were easily recognized. All pathologic conditions were best seen on T2-weighted images acquired in the coronal plane. Balanced images allowed for tissue characterization. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) images of the shoulders of a healthy volunteer were obtained in axial, sagittal, and coronal orientations using a 0.5-T imaging system. Multiple high-resolution spin-echo images were generated using an off-center zoom technique and a specially designed surface coil. Several anatomic structures, including the rotator cuff, long biceps tendon, articular capsule, muscles, and bones, were visualized. The coronal and sagittal views were the most useful for demonstrating the rotator cuff. MR imaging has potential as a new non-invasive tool for the evaluation of the shoulder region. 相似文献

The tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle (long bicipital tendon) has a complex course from its muscle belly to its insertion onto the supraglenoid tubercle/glenoid labrum. It is stabilized by numerous tendinous and ligamentous structures and is, in turn, partly responsible for maintenance of normal glenohumeral function. In this report we describe the anatomy of this tendon, correlating high-resolution MR images with cryomicrotome sections. We illustrate typical MR findings in pathologic conditions affecting the long bicipital tendon sheath, the substance of the tendon, and finally the tendon position. 相似文献

The complex anatomy and the requirement to image in the peripheral magnetic field have made the shoulder difficult to examine with MR. However, the use of high-resolution scanning techniques and specialized surface coils has improved the quality of MR images obtained. Seventy-five scans of the shoulders of normal volunteers were correlated with multiplanar cryomicrosections of six cadaver shoulders to study the MR appearance of normal structures. MR was shown to provide excellent depiction of shoulder anatomy. 相似文献

MR imaging of the labral-capsular complex: normal variations 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Understanding the normal anatomy of the shoulder and its variations is important for the proper interpretation of MR images. This study was performed to describe variations in the normal labral-capsular complex as seen on MR images. MR images of 52 shoulders in 30 asymptomatic volunteers and 27 shoulders of symptomatic patients who had subsequent arthroscopy and/or reconstructive surgery were obtained with 1.5-T MR. The 52 scans of the asymptomatic group were reviewed by three radiologists in conference, and the assessment of labral shapes and capsular insertions was done by consensus. The 27 MR scans of the shoulders in the symptomatic group were reviewed by one radiologist before and after the asymptomatic cases were interpreted. Differences in these two interpretations were shown on receiver-operating-characteristic curves by using the results of subsequent arthroscopy and surgery as the gold standard. The anterior and posterior parts of the labra, respectively, varied in shape but showed several dominant features: triangular (45%, 73%), round (19%, 12%), cleaved (15%, 0%), notched (8%, 0%), flat (7%, 6%), and absent (6%, 8%). Most capsules inserted anteriorly on the labrum (47%) or glenoid rim (49%). All posterior insertions were on the labrum (100%). Intrinsic labral signal was noted on proton density-weighted images, but never on T2-weighted images. Receiver-operating-characteristic curves from interpretations of the symptomatic and clinical cases made before and after evaluation of the asymptomatic shoulders showed the interpretations improved considerably after scans of asymptomatic volunteers were studied. Our study reveals a wide variability in the MR appearance of the labral-capsular complex in asymptomatic shoulders. 相似文献

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are well established imaging modalities to examine the facial nerve as well as the course of the facial nerve itself. High spatial resolution is guaranteed not only in the x- and y-axis, but also in the z-axis using multislice spiral CT. With this technique, reformatted multiplanar images in oblique planes, avoiding additional examinations in the coronal plane, facilitate the delineation of the facial nerve canal. This is beneficial in patients with temporal bone trauma, malformation or osseous changes. MR has a superior soft-tissue contrast to CT that enables imaging of the facial nerve itself. Therefore the normal facial nerve as well as pathologic changes of the facial nerve is readily visualized from the brain stem to the parotid gland. This review article presents anatomy, pathology and imaging strategies in the diagnostics of the facial nerve. 相似文献

Normal shoulder: MR imaging 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Relatively poor spatial resolution has been obtained in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the shoulder because the shoulder can only be placed in the periphery of the magnetic field. The authors have devised an anatomically shaped surface coil that enables MR to demonstrate normal shoulder anatomy in different planes with high spatial resolution. In the axial plane, anatomy analogous to that seen on computed tomographic (CT) scans can be demonstrated. Variations in scapular position (produced by patient positioning) may make reproducibility of sagittal and coronal plane images difficult by changing the relationship of the plane to the shoulder anatomy. Oblique planes, for which the angle is chosen from the axial image, have the advantage of easy reproducibility. Obliquely oriented structures and relationships are best seen in oblique plane images and can be evaluated in detail. 相似文献

MR imaging of the normal shoulder: variants and pitfalls. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
In 30 volunteers with normal shoulders, the following conclusions were made with regard to normal anatomic features at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging: (a) The supraspinatus tendon has low signal intensity, except for a 1-cm area with intermediate signal intensity in the region of the "critical zone." (b) The deltoid tendon attachment on the inferior surface of the acromion may simulate a subacromial spur if not imaged in continuity. (c) Fluid in the long head of the biceps tendon sheath is normal if not completely surrounding the tendon. (d) The anterolateral branch of the anterior humeral circumflex vessels in the proximal bicipital groove adjacent to the biceps tendon mimics fluid in the tendon sheath. (e) Continuity or obliteration of the subacromial-subdeltoid bursal fat plane is an unreliable diagnostic sign since the fat plane is often focally absent. (f) Fluid is not detected in subacromial-subdeltoid bursae. (g) Undercutting of the anterior glenoid labrum by hyaline cartilage or a closely apposed middle glenohumeral ligament may simulate an anterior labral tear. 相似文献

In this paper we describe the normal appearance of the azygos lobe on conventional radiography and CT, presenting variants that may simulate pathology on the chest radiograph. We describe the signs that allow identification of such variants and the role of CT in explaining the findings and excluding a pathological process. 相似文献

Several skeletal variations of the upper extremity may cause painful conditions or precipitate early degenerative changes,
either spontaneously or in response to overuse and trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging has proved particularly useful for accurate
interpretation of many of these clinically significant skeletal variations; however, the widespread use of MR imaging may
have contributed to over-emphasizing their clinical importance, which is still controversial in many cases. We review, illustrate,
and discuss clinically significant skeletal variations of the upper extremity as seen on MR images, particularly those involving
the shoulder and the wrist. In the shoulder region, we evaluate variations of acromial and coracoid processes as well as variations
and minor dysplastic deformities of the glenoid fossa. We also review different skeletal variations of the carpal region,
including ulnar variance, ulnar styloid, lunate morphology, carpal coalition, and carpal accessory ossicles. The role of MR
imaging in assessing the clinical importance of such conditions, whether potential, controversial, or well established, is
emphasized in this review. 相似文献

We used magnetic resonance imaging in 41 patients with shoulder pain. Magnetic resonance was found useful in depicting the spectrum of rotator cuff abnormalities associated with mechanical impingement including both large and small rotator cuff tears as well as tendinitis. Abnormalities of the capsular mechanism, osseous tumors, osteonecrosis, and injuries to the supporting musculature are also well depicted. 相似文献

Thyroid masses: MR imaging and pathologic correlation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The authors explored the capability of high-field-strength surface coil magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in disclosing the gross pathologic characteristics of thyroid masses (especially pseudocapsular and hemorrhagic degeneration). Twenty-four patients were examined, including 12 with papillary carcinoma, eight with adenoma, and four with adenomatous goiter. All patients underwent surgery within 2 days after MR imaging. Specimens were cut and correlated directly with MR images. The appearance of the pseudocapsule was classified into four types: A, intact and even thickness around the tumor; B, only partially present or even absent; C, intact but with uneven thickness; D, partially destroyed by tumor. MR imaging findings corresponded precisely with those of gross pathologic examination in all cases but four of adenoma. Type A pseudocapsules were found only in adenoma and type D only in papillary carcinoma. Although the number of cases in the series was limited, the authors conclude that MR images reflect gross pathologic findings well and that some characteristic findings are suggestive of benign or malignant disease. 相似文献

Meniscal tears: pathologic correlation with MR imaging 总被引:37,自引:0,他引:37
Menisci from 12 autopsies and above-knee amputations were imaged with magnetic resonance (MR) at 1.5 T and then sectioned for gross and histologic examination. A histologic staging system was developed and showed a one-to-one correlation with corresponding grades of MR signal intensities. Histologic stages 1 and 2 represented a continuum of degeneration culminating in stage 3 fibrocartilaginous tears, seen most frequently in posterior-horn segments of the medial meniscus. Correlation of histologic stages with MR signal intensity allows for an improved diagnostic reading of MR images. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance (MR) images of 21 surgically confirmed chondrosarcomas were retrospectively reviewed in conjunction with plain radiographs and computed tomographic scans and correlated with pathologic findings. The tumors appeared lobulated, and signal intensity, as analyzed visually (intermediate on T1-weighted, high on T2-weighted images), was similar for all lesions, regardless of pathologic type. Size of lesion was not an indicator of grade. The appearances of mesenchymal and dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas mimicked that of conventional chondrosarcoma. Extraskeletal chondrosarcoma was visualized as a lobulated soft-tissue mass. In all cases, MR imaging accurately depicted intraosseous and soft-tissue extent of tumor noted at surgery and pathologic examination. Histologic type or grade of chondrosarcoma generally cannot be characterized on the basis of visual analysis of signal intensity noted on routine MR images. However, MR imaging is excellent for exact delineation of tumor extent. 相似文献

MR arthrography of the labral capsular ligamentous complex in the shoulder: imaging variations and pitfalls 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Park YH Lee JY Moon SH Mo JH Yang BK Hahn SH Resnick D 《AJR. American journal of roentgenology》2000,175(3):667-672
OBJECTIVE: Using MR arthrography, we examined normal anatomy, anatomic variations, and pitfalls of imaging the labral capsular ligamentous complex in the asymptomatic shoulder. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We obtained 108 MR arthrograms of the glenohumeral joint in 95 asymptomatic volunteers with axial (108 shoulders) and oblique coronal (56 shoulders) images. We examined labral shape, patterns of capsular insertion, presence or absence of glenohumeral ligaments, and pitfalls of imaging. Our patients were men (auxiliary policemen) between 19 and 24 years old (mean age, 21 years). RESULTS: The shapes of labra were triangular (anterior part, 64%; posterior part, 47%), round (17%; 33%), flat (2%; 17%), cleaved (11%; 1%), notched (3%; 0%), or absent (2%; 2%). Using the system of Mosely and Overgaard, the anterior capsular insertion was type 1 in 63% of shoulders, type 2 in 20%, and type 3 in 17%; the posterior capsular insertion was type 1 in 60% of shoulders, type 2 in 31%, and type 3 in 9%. The superior and inferior glenohumeral ligaments were present in 99% of shoulders, but the middle glenohumeral ligament was present in only 79%. We also detected many pitfalls of MR imaging in identifying findings such as the undercutting of the labrum by cartilage (32% of shoulders), prominent axillary folds (46%), sublabral holes (7%) or recesses (33%), Buford complexes (2%), and sulci between the biceps tendon and superior labrum (30%). CONCLUSION: Knowledge of normal anatomy and anatomic variations of the labral complex is important for the examination of the shoulder with MR arthrography. 相似文献
