Background: This study was designed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and indirect magnetic resonance arthrography (I-MRA) imaging with those of arthroscopy and each other. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2020. All patients who tested positive for labrum lesions during that year were included in the study. The patients underwent conservative treatment for 6 weeks. In the event of no response to conservative treatment, MRI and I-MRA imaging were conducted, and the patients underwent arthroscopy to determine their ultimate diagnosis and treatment plan. Imaging results were assessed at a 1-week interval by an experienced musculoskeletal radiologist. Image interpretation results and arthroscopy were recorded in the data collection form. Results: Overall, 35 patients comprised the study. Based on the kappa coefficient, the results indicate that the results of both imaging methods are in agreement with the arthroscopic findings, but the I-MRA consensus rate is higher than that of MRI (0.612±0.157 and 0.749±0.101 vs. 0.449±0.160 and 0.603±0.113). The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and accuracy of MRI in detecting labrum tears were 77.77%, 75.00%, 91.30%, 50.00%, and 77.14%, respectively, and those of I-MRA were 88.88%, 75.00%, 92.30%, 66.66%, and 85.71%. Conclusions: Here, I-MRA showed higher diagnostic value than MRI for labral tears. Therefore, it is recommended that I-MRA be used instead of MRI if there is an indication for potential labrum lesions.

Background: Few studies have investigated magnetic resonance (MR) characteristics of traumatic posterosuperior rotator cuff tears involving the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. We hypothesized that traumatic rotator cuff tears may have MR characteristics distinguishable from those of non-traumatic tears. Methods: Preoperative MR arthrography and intraoperative tear size measurements were compared in 302 patients who underwent MR arthrography and subsequent arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs for traumatic (group T, 61 patients) or non-traumatic (group NT, 241 patients) tears. The inclusion criteria for both groups were posterosuperior full-thickness rotator cuff tear and age between 40 and 60 years. For group T, traumas were limited to accidental falls or slips, or sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents; injuries were associated with acute onset of pain followed by functional shoulder impairment; and time between injury and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was 6 weeks or less. Results: In group T, 72.1% of shoulders (44 patients) had tendon tears with blunt edges while 27.9% of shoulders (17 patients) had tears with tapering edges. In contrast, 21.2% of patients in group NT (51 patients) had blunt-edge tears, while 78.8% (190 patients) of tears had tapering edges. These results were statistically significant (p<0.001) and estimated odds ratio was 9.6. The size of tear did not vary significantly between groups. Conclusions: We found no exclusive MR characteristic to define traumatic tears. However, oblique coronal MRI of traumatic tears showed a significant tendency for abrupt and rough torn tendon edges and relatively consistent tendon thicknesses (without lateral tapering) compared to non-traumatic cuff tears.

최근의 악관절(TMJ) 방사선학적 진단에 있어 많은 발전과 진단방법이 고안돼어 왔다. 또한 새로운 외과적 술식의 발달로 인하여 악관절내장증(Internal Derangement)의 보다 정확한 진단을 요하게 되었다. 가장 새로운 진단방법으로 핵자기공명촬영법(Magnetic Resonance Imaging:MRI)이 악관절내장증 진단 평가하는데 사용되어지고 있다. 핵자기공명촬영법은 surface coil을 이용하여 관절원판(meniscus)의 비정상적 변화를 효과적으로 진달할 수 있으며, 지금까지 이용되어오던 악관절조영술(arthrography)이나 컴퓨터 단층촬영법(C-T scan)의 단점인, 관절내 조영제 주입이나 방사선 노출둥의 문제점을 배제할 수 있다. 본 연구는 악관절 핵자기공명촬영을 한 92명(184 joints)중 천공(perforation)으로 진단된 31 명 (39 joints)를 대상으로 하였으며, 핵자기공명촬영법의 취약점으로 지적되고 있는 악관절원판 천공 진단의 정확도를 측정하기 위하여 가역적 조사를 통해, 악관절원판 천공으로 진단되어 수술받은 15명(20 joints)에서 65%(13 joints)의 정확성을 확인하였다. 또한 핵자기공명촬영법을 통한 악관절원판 진단의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 condyle head의 퇴행성 변화, articular eminence의 변화, condyle spurring, bone to bone contact등의 경조직 변화와 meniscus의 discontinuity, meniscal deformity, loss of joint space, alternated bilaminar zone 등이 악관절원판 천공진단의 중요한 findings 임을 증명 하였다.

Objective: To compare inferior capsular redundancy by using magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) images in patients with multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder and control subjects without instability and thereby develop a screening method to identify the presence of shoulder MDI. Materials and Methods: The MRA images of patients with MDI of the shoulder (n = 65, 57 men, 8 women; mean age, 24.5 years; age range, 18-42 years) treated over an eight-year period were retrospectively reviewed; a control group (n = 65, 57 men, 8 women; mean age, 27.4 years; age range, 18-45 years) without instability was also selected. The inferior capsular redundancy was measured using a new method we named the glenocapsular (GC) ratio method. MRA images of both groups were randomly mixed together, and two orthopedic surgeon reviewers measured the cross-sectional areas (CSAs) and sagittal capsule-head ratios on oblique sagittal images, as well as the axial capsule-head ratios on axial images and GC ratios on oblique coronal images. Results: The CSAs and GC ratios were significantly higher in patients than in controls (both, p < 0.001); however, the sagittal capsule-head ratios and axial capsule-head ratios were not significantly different (p = 0.317, p = 0.053, respectively). In addition, GC ratios determined the presence of MDI more sensitively and specifically than did CSAs. A GC ratio of > 1.42 was found to be most suggestive of MDI of the shoulder, owing to its high sensitivity (92.3%) and specificity (89.2%). Conclusion: GC ratio can be easily measured and used to accurately screen for MDI of the shoulder.

Perforation of articular disc of temporomandibular joint is a unusual condition and diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), arthrography or arthroscopic surgery. We attempted to investigate the suspicious findings of articular disc perforation through examination commonly used in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging findings of five TMD patients whose articular discs were perforated based on MRI. The most meaningful finding was the abnormal width of the joint space in cone-beam computed tomography. Thus, the clinician should perform a thorough assessment of the joint space in TMD patients and conduct additional investigation to determine what caused the abnormal joint space.

목적: 견관절 전방탈구 후 Bankart 병변이 있었던 환자의 자기공명관절조영술 (MRA)에서 Hill-Sachs (HS) 병변의 유무와 정도를 평가하고, 이를 관절경에서 보인 Bankart 병변의 크기와 탈구 빈도와 비교하고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 견관절 전방탈구 후 발생한 Bankart 병변의 관절경 수술을 시행 받은 86명의 MRA를 분석하였다. MRA에서 HS 병변의 가장 큰 표면길이와, 관절경에서 보인 Bankart 병변의 크기를 측정하였다. HS 병변 길이와 Bankart 병변 크기, 탈구 빈도 사이의 상관성을 분석하였다. 결과: HS 병변은 78명에서 관찰되었다. HS 병변의 가장 긴 표면길이는 평균 18.8 mm (9.3 - 29.6 mm) 였고, Bankart 병변은 평균 4.25시계구간 크기 (1-6시계구간 크기) 였다. 3명은 단일탈구, 75명은 재발탈구였다. HS 병변의 크기는 Bankart 병변의 크기와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였고 (p = 0.001, r = 0.37), 탈구 빈도와는 관련성이 없었다. 결론: HS 병변은 Bankart 병변이 있는 환자에서 흔하게 발견되었다. HS 병변과 Bankart 병변의 크기와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다.
