This study aimed to assess possible associations between the following factors: articular disc anatomy and position; articular eminence and condyle morphology; presence of joint effusion; condyle mobility; and lateral pterygoid muscle insertion pattern. Magnetic resonance images of 33 joints of symptomatic patients were assessed. The articular disc was classified as normal, elongated, or folded; displacement was classified as normal, lateral, or medial; the condyle was classified as rounded, convex, flattened, or angulated; the articular eminence was classified as box, sigmoid, flattened, or deformed; condyle mobility was classified as normal, hypomobile, or hypermobile; and the lateral pterygoid muscle insertion pattern was classified as Type I, Type II, or Type III. The most frequent forms of articular disc, articular eminence, and condyle were folded, flattened, and flattened, respectively. There can be a relationship connecting TMJ mobility with a normal disc form (100%); TMJ hypomobility with a folded disc form (48%); and TMJ hypermobility with an elongated disc form (100%). Magnetic resonance imaging allowed the clear observation of articular structures, and no association was found between insertion pattern and sideways disc position, disc form, and condyle form. All cases with joint effusion were related to hypomobility (100%).

Background The elbow is one of the most commonly dislocated joints, and dislocation is usually accompanied with an assortment of soft tissue injuries. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze and describe the patterns of ligamentous, tendinous, and muscular injuries in patients with an acute elbow dislocation and subsequent magnetic resonance image (MRI) evaluation. Methods From 2008 to 2020, 235 patients clinically diagnosed with an elbow dislocation were seen in the department, of which only 19 underwent an MRI of the affected elbow. Twelve patients met inclusion criteria, and MRIs were evaluated by both a radiologist and an upper extremity orthopedic surgeon. Magnetic resonance images were assessed for injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL); radial collateral ligament (RCL); lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL); common flexor and extensor tendons; biceps, brachialis, and triceps tendons; fracture; and joint effusion. Results Magnetic resonance imaging findings included the following: UCL was injured in 11 of 12 patients; RCL was injured in 9 of 12 patients; LUCL was injured in 9 of 12 patients; common flexor tendon was injured in 11 of 12 patients; and common extensor tendon was injured in 9 of 12 elbows. The biceps, brachialis, and triceps tendons showed injury in 1 of 12, 2 of 12, and 2 of 12 elbows, respectively. Four elbows had at least 1 fracture present, whereas 8 demonstrated an effusion. Conclusions In this series, injuries to the UCL and common flexor tendon were most common. Although ligamentous injuries are exceedingly common in elbow dislocations, large studies of MRI findings prove difficult due to MRI costs.

High Resolution Mri

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become established as an important imaging modality for the clinical management of disease. This is primarily due to the great tissue contrast inherent in magnetic resonance images of normal and diseased organs. Due to the wide availability of high field magnets and the ability to generate large and rapidly switched magnetic field gradients there is growing interest in applying high resolution MRI to obtain microscopic information. This symposium on MRI microscopy highlights new developments that are leading to increased resolution. The application of high resolution MRI to significant problems in developmental biology and cancer biology will illustrate the potential of these techniques.In combination with a growing interest in obtaining high resolution MRI there is also a growing interest in obtaining functional information from MRI. The great success of MRI in clinical applications is due to the inherent contrast obtained from different tissues leading to anatomical information.

Abstract Objective: To determine common imaging findings of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma on magnetic resonance images. Materials and Methods: A search was made of three institutional databases between January 2000 and August 2012. Seven patients (mean age, 47 years; range, 21-66 years; 6 women) with pathology-confirmed diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma who had undergone magnetic resonance imaging were identified. None of the patients had received any treatment for hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma at the time of the initial magnetic resonance imaging examination. Results: Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma tumors appeared as focal masses in 7/7 patients, greater than 5 in number, with a coalescing lesion in 1/5, and peripheral localization in 6/7. Capsular retraction was present in 4/7, and was associated with peripherally located lesions. Early ring enhancement was appreciated in the majority of lesions in 7/7 patients. Centripetal progressive enhancement was shown in 5/7 patients on venous phase that exhibited a distinctive thick inner border of low signal on venous phase images, and a central core of delayed enhancement. Small lesions did not show this. Conclusion: The combination of multifocal round-configuration lesions that are predominantly peripheral and exhibit early peripheral ring enhancement and late appearance of an inner thick border of low signal and central core of high signal may represent an important feature for hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

Abstract Background Magnetic resonance is the best imaging modality to assess hip joint in non-traumatic cases. It has a great ability to diagnose disorders of bone, cartilage, ligaments, muscles and soft tissue. MRI can also detect joint effusion and bone marrow edema. Aim of the Work: To assess the value of MRI as the imaging modality in children presenting with acute non-traumatic hip pain and its ability to assess the cause of the pain early without the use of another imaging modality. Patients and Methods A retrospective study was conducted on pediatric patients with non-traumatic hip pain, referred from the outpatient pediatric clinic, orthopedic clinic, Ain Shams University hospitals. The patients were investigated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detection the cause of non-traumatic hip pain. Results In this study we found that avascular necrosis is the commonest cause of non-traumatic hip pain followed by isolated hip effusion then synovitis. Other causes included perthes, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, aneurysmal bone cyst, SCFE, PFFD and Osteomalacia. Magnetic resonance imaging doesn’t only demonstrate disorders of hip joint only; it also gives an accurate assessment of other extra-articular causes of referred hip pain. Conclusion Hip MRI is a practical, well accepted and accurate non-invasive imaging technique in children presenting with acute non-traumatic hip pain.

Study Design Observational study Objective As an important consideration of surgery, cervical sagittal balance is believed to be better assessed using standing radiograph than supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, few studies have researched this. Our study aimed to observe the correlations and differences in cervical sagittal parameters between radiograph and MRI in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), and evaluate whether the change of position affects them. Methods We analyzed 84 patients, measuring Cobb angle (CA), T1 slope (T1S), neck tilt (NT), and thoracic inlet angle (TIA). Inter- and intra-parameter analyses were performed to identify any difference between standing radiograph and supine MRI. Statistical correlations and differences between the parameters were compared. Results There were excellent inter-observer agreement for each parameter (interclass correlation coefficient >.75), and significant differences were observed in each parameter between radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging ( P < .05). Strong correlations were noted between the same parameters in radiograph and MRI. Cobb angle, T1S, and neck tilt were significantly correlated with thoracic inlet angle on both radiograph and MRI, and CA was significantly correlated with T1S on both radiograph and MRI ( r: −1.0 to −.5 or .5 to 1.0). Conclusion Supine MRI obviously underestimated the value of CA, T1S, and TIA. Therefore, standing cervical radiographs should be obtained in CSM patients to assess and determine surgical strategy, not only supine MRI. Moreover, we observed that NT and TIA were not constant morphological parameters.

Objective: Surgical procedure and adjuvant treatment of type I endometrial cancer were affected by some variables assessed preoperatively. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a promising modality in evaluating myometrial invasion and cervical involvement, investigating the diagnostic values of DWI in assessing myometrial invasion and cervical involvement. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. This study involved all type I endometrial cancer patients in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from April 2016 until April 2019. The depth of myometrial invasion and cervical involvement was examined using 1.5-T MR unit. The result was compared to the surgical pathologic findings as the reference standard. Results: 34 types I endometrial cancer patients were enrolled in this study. The sensitivity of DWI in evaluating myometrial invasion and cervical involvement in type I endometrial cancer was 94.12% and 57.14%, while the specificity was 64.71% and 92.59%, respectively. Conclusion: DWI can provide reliable prognostic variable information about the myometrial invasion and cervical involvement in the preoperative preparation of endometrial cancer patients.
