The pitfalls of MR imaging of the elbow -- and strategies for avoiding them

By Shalmali Pal

Historically, the prospect of reading elbow MR images may have had radiologists burying their heads in their hands. "It used to be that before the advent of PACS, MRI of the elbow was relatively straightforward," joked Dr. Garry Gold at the June "MR Advances in Musculoskeletal Imaging and Neuroradiology" conference sponsored by Stanford University of Stanford, CA. "You found one in the 'in' slot in the reading room, and then you found a place to hide it."

Advances in MR help determine severity of musculoskeletal injuries

By Shalmali Pal

Clinical diagnoses of acute musculoskeletal injuries aren’t always difficult to figure out, but pinpointing the degree and extent of injury can determine whether a patient will be out of commission for a few days or several weeks. By using MR to image osseous overuse and myotendinous injuries, radiologists can make that judgment call.

Studies gauge incidence, sensitivity of MR signs for meniscal bucket-handle tears

By Erik L. Ridley

A number of MRI signs are now associated with so-called "bucket-handle" meniscus tears in the knee, but researchers are continuing to look at which are the most frequent and accurate indicators of these often obscure yet debilitating injuries.

Dynamic MRI techniques detail patterns, problems in shoulder motion

By Shalmali Pal

Like a golf ball perched on a tee, the glenohumeral joint in the shoulder is in a precarious position. By combining MR with a clinical exam, radiologists and orthopedists can take a look at the anatomy as well as the function of an abnormal shoulder joint.

Stanford researchers tout MRI for osteoarthritis evaluation

By Shalmali Pal

SAN FRANCISCO - The Centers for Disease Control has predicted that in the next 20 years nearly 60 million people in the United States will seek relief from osteoarthritis and other articular cartilage diseases. As a result, the imaging community will have the chance to become an integral part of the treatment process.

FDG-PET seeks to make connection between prosthetic joints and infection

By Shalmali Pal

ST. LOUIS - With a quarter of a million hip and knee replacements performed annually in the United States, accurate assessment of prosthesis-related infections is more vital than ever. Some investigators see great promise for FDG-PET in this role, while others see a major problem with poor specificity.
