  2. Glenolabral articular disruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenolabral_articular...

    On non-contrast MRI or CT arthrography imaging, lesions might be harder to find, but the more recent 3T MRI scanners might increase the pick-up rate in the absence of contrast. [4] The accepted gold standard for identifying or detecting the glenolabral articular disruption lesion is MR arthroscopy (MRA). [1]

  3. Arthrogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrogram

    Shoulder arthrography can be used to study tears of the rotator cuff, glenoid labrum and biceps. [2] The type of contrast injected into the joint depends on the subsequent imaging that is planned. For pneumoarthrography, gas is used, for CT or radiographs, a water-soluble radiopaque contrast, and for MRI, gadolinium. Double-contrast ...

  4. Safety of magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_of_magnetic...

    MRI without contrast agents is the imaging mode of choice for pre-surgical, in-utero diagnosis and evaluation of fetal tumors, primarily teratomas, facilitating open fetal surgery, other fetal interventions, and planning for procedures (such as the EXIT procedure) to safely deliver and treat babies whose defects would otherwise be fatal. [52] [53]

  5. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

    MRI is widely used in hospitals and clinics for medical diagnosis, staging and follow-up of disease. Compared to CT, MRI provides better contrast in images of soft tissues, e.g. in the brain or abdomen. However, it may be perceived as less comfortable by patients, due to the usually longer and louder measurements with the subject in a long ...

  6. Bankart lesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankart_lesion

    The diagnosis is usually initially made by a combination of physical exam and medical imaging, where the latter may be projectional radiography (in cases of bony Bankart) and/or MRI of the shoulder. The presence of intra-articular contrast allows for better evaluation of the glenoid labrum. [8] Type V SLAP tears extends into the Bankart defect. [9]

  7. Shoulder problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_problem

    In disease or injury, this contrast fluid may either leak into an area where it does not belong, indicating a tear or opening, or be blocked from entering an area where there normally is an opening. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)--A non-invasive procedure in which a machine produces a series of cross-sectional images of the shoulder.

  8. Physics of magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_magnetic...

    Modern 3 Tesla clinical MRI scanner.. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique mostly used in radiology and nuclear medicine in order to investigate the anatomy and physiology of the body, and to detect pathologies including tumors, inflammation, neurological conditions such as stroke, disorders of muscles and joints, and abnormalities in the heart and blood vessels ...

  9. Rotator cuff tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear

    MRI of normal shoulder intratendinous signal MRI of rotator cuff full-thickness tear. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound [46] are comparable in efficacy and helpful in diagnosis, although both have a false positive rate of 15–20%. [47] MRI can reliably detect most full-thickness tears, although very small pinpoint tears may be missed.
