Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging With 3-Dimensional T2-SPACE Techniques for Preganglionic Injury of the Brachial Plexus
An accurate diagnosis of the site and severity of a brachial plexus injury is imperative for selecting the appropriate management. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not allow for the precise interpretation of preganglionic injuries (pre-GIs), especially intravertebral canal injuries. We developed 4 MRI sequences of conventional 1.5-tesla 3-dimensional T2-weighted turbo spin echo sampling perfection with the application of optimized contrasts using different flip angles evolution (T2-SPACE) images to clearly visualize each component of the brachial plexus.Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Humeral Capitellum: Preoperative Assessment of Lesion Size and Lateral Wall Integrity
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a helpful tool in the evaluation of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum. The relationship between MRI appearance and clinically relevant intraoperative findings is incompletely understood. The goal of this study was to evaluate capitellar OCD lesions via preoperative MRI and to determine its accuracy in predicting lesion characteristics including lesion size and capitellar lateral wall integrity.Comparative Accuracy of 1.5T MRI, 3T MRI, and Static Ultrasound in Diagnosis of Small Gaps in Repaired Flexor Tendons: A Cadaveric Study
We hypothesized that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) would more accurately diagnose small gaps (<6 mm) after flexor tendon repair than static ultrasound (US) and that suture artifact would negatively impair accuracy.Clinical, Radiological, and Electrodiagnostic Diagnosis of Pronator Syndrome Concurrent With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This is a retrospective observational study that assessed the prevalence of positive diagnostic imaging and electrodiagnostic (EDX) findings in patients diagnosed with pronator syndrome (PS), who previously had a carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgery. The other purpose of our study was to determine how often PS occurred and was missed in patients treated surgically for CTS.
