Sufficient MRI graft structural integrity at 9 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft.

Purpose: To assess the MRI-measured structural integrity of hamstring autograft at 9 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted including 34 patients (mean age 36.8 ± 11.

Graft Inclination Angles in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Vary Depending on Femoral Tunnel Reaming Method: Comparison Among Transtibial, Anteromedial Portal, and Outside-In Retrograde Drilling Techniques.

Purpose: To compare graft coronal and sagittal inclination angles in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction performed by different femoral tunnel drilling techniques with respect to intact native ACL.

Methods: In total, 72 patients were prospectively enrolled in the study. The inclusion criteria were complete ACL rupture and patient age between 18 and 55 years.

Gadobenate dimeglumine and gadofosveset trisodium for MR angiography of the renal arteries: Multicenter intraindividual crossover comparison.

Objective: This prospective multicenter intraindividual crossover study was designed to compare gadobenate dimeglumine and gadofosveset trisodium at approved doses with respect to the image quality and diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) in the detection of clinically relevant renal artery stenosis.

Subjects And Methods: Thirty-nine subjects (17 men, 22 women; age range, 30-86 years; mean 62 +/- 13.3 [SD] years) with known or suspected renovascular disease underwent a first CE-MRA examination with 0.

Multicenter, double-blind, randomized, intraindividual crossover comparison of gadobenate dimeglumine and gadopentetate dimeglumine for MR angiography of peripheral arteries.

Purpose: To prospectively compare the image quality and diagnostic performance achieved with doses of gadobenate dimeglumine and gadopentetate dimeglumine of 0.1 mmol per kilogram of body weight in patients undergoing contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography of the pelvis, thigh, and lower-leg (excluding foot) for suspected or known peripheral arterial occlusive disease.

Materials And Methods: Institutional review board approval was granted from each center and informed written consent was obtained from all patients.
