The combination of a large range of motion and insufficient bony stabilization makes the glenohumeral joint susceptible to injuries including dislocation in young athletes. Magnetic resonance arthrography (MR-arthrography) and computed tomography arthrography (CT-arthrography) play an important role in the preoperative workup of labroligametous injuries. This paper illustrates MR-arthrography and CT-arthrography findings acquired at the same time on the same subjects to illustrate common causes and sequelae of shoulder instability. Teaching Points • MR-arthrography and CT-arthrography are equivalent for SLAP and full-thickness rotator cuff tears.• CT-arthrography is superior in evaluating osseous defects and cartilage surface lesions.• MR-arthrography is superior in evaluating intrasubstance and extra-articular tendinous injuries.

Objectives: The purpose of this agreement was to establish evidence-based consensus statements on imaging of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries by an expert group using the Delphi technique.

Methods: Nineteen hand surgeons developed a preliminary list of questions on DRUJ instability and TFCC injuries. Radiologists created statements based on the literature and the authors' clinical experience.

March 2023

Social Medicine Department, Community Medicine Specialist, Faculty of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran.

Background: In the current study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the comparison of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the techniques in diagnosing SSC tendon tears. Also, we performed a systematic review of the classification of SSC tendon tears.

Methods: English language, peer-reviewed journal publications from the first date available to March 2022 were extracted by searching PubMed and Web of Science databases.

Objectives: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of non-arthrographic MR imaging, conventional MR arthrography, and 3D T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) MR arthrography sequences as compared with a CT arthrography in the diagnosis of glenoid bare spot.

Methods: A retrospective study of 216 patients who underwent non-arthrographic MR imaging, conventional MR arthrography, VIBE MRI arthrography, and CT arthrogram between January 2011 and March 2022 was conducted. The diagnostic accuracy of non-arthrographic MR imaging, direct MR arthrography, and VIBE MRI arthrography in the detection of glenoid bare spot was compared with that of CT arthrography.

The effect of CT and MRI with and without arthrography on the appearance of the feline carpal ligaments.

BMC Vet Res

October 2022

Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science, University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW, 2006, Australia.

Background: The current diagnosis of feline carpal injuries is based on radiographic examination including stress views and computed tomography; however, these techniques do not allow for direct evaluation of the carpal ligaments. The purpose of this cadaveric study was to assess the ability of CT arthrography (CTA) and MR arthrography (MRA) to provide this information using a single contrast mixture. A protocol for intra-articular injection of the feline carpus was also described.

Purpose: High resolution flat-panel computed tomography arthrography (FPCT-A) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MR-A) are well suited to evaluate osteochondral lesions. The current study compares the performance of FPCT-A versus MR-A in an experimental setting.

Methods: Fourteen cadaveric ankles were prepared with artificial osteochondral defects of various sizes in four separate talar locations.
