Background Different diagnostic imaging modalities, such as ultrasonography (US), MRI, MR arthrography (MRA) are commonly used for the characterisation of rotator cuff (RC) disorders. Since the most ...

Joint aspiration is a procedure to remove fluid from the space around a joint. Learn about the procedure, why it may be needed, risks, and what to expect.

A new version of our compact and lightweight patient-mounted MRI-compatible 4 degree-of-freedom (DOF) robot for MRI-guided arthrography procedures is introduced. This robot could convert the ...

This paper introduces a body mounted robotic system for MRI-guided shoulder arthrography in pediatric patients. This robotic manipulator is optimized for being accurate yet light enough to perform the ...

Objectives: To describe and compare the medium to long-term effectiveness of hydrodilatation and post-hydrodilatation physiotherapy in patients with primary and secondary glenohumeral joint ...

SPECT/CT combines scintigraphy with a CT scan forming a 3-dimensional reconstruction of bone-tracer uptake patterns. It has become a fundamental component of the work-up of a painful total knee ...

CBCT arthrography had an estimated mean effective dose of 3.2 mSv (2.0–4.8). Conclusions: Our study confirms that CBCT arthrography has an excellent diagnostic accuracy for wrist ligamentous injuries ...

Arthrography. A contrast dye is injected into the hand to allow the healthcare provider to better see the joints on X-ray. Bone scan (bone scintigraphy). A slightly radioactive substance (radiotracer, ...

Contrast dye, also known as a contrast agent, is a solution that is used to accentuate specific structures when looking at a body image. Radiocontrast agents are substances that are used in studies ...

Objective: To compare the pain expected to that effectively caused by magnetic resonance arthrography of the shoulder and, secondarily, to describe a simplified approach to the technique for articular ...

Healthcare professionals use a variety of imaging techniques to diagnose shoulder injuries, including a procedure called a shoulder arthrogram. It is also called glenohumeral arthrography.
