Hepatobiliary Imaging
Peter S. Liu, MD, Editor Richard G. Abramson, MD, Editor Although evaluation of the hepatobiliary system is considered one of the more common indications in body MR imaging, it remains…
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
Hepatobiliary Imaging
Suresh K. Mukherji, MD, MBA, FACR, Consulting Editor I have always viewed hepatobiliary magnetic resonance (MR) as a microcosm of how to expand technology and grow our specialty. I was…
Imaging the Knee in the Setting of Metal Hardware
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an established modality for the evaluation of musculoskeletal structures, including the knee. Metallic implants are increasingly used and techniques to minimize artifacts are continuously improving….
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Pediatric Knee
In pediatric patients, the high resolution and excellent soft-tissue contrast of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging allows for complete evaluation of osseous and soft-tissue structures around the knee joint, and its…
MR Imaging of Extrasynovial Inflammation and Impingement About the Knee
The knee has unique anatomy regarding the relationship between the synovial and capsular layers, with interposed fat pads at certain locations. The extrasynovial impingement and inflammation syndromes about the knee…
Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Articular Cartilage of the Knee Joint
Osteoarthritis is characterized by a decrease in the proteoglycan content and disruption of the highly organized collagen fiber network of articular cartilage. Various quantitative magnetic resonance imaging techniques have been…
MR Imaging Assessment of Arthritis of the Knee
The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging presentations of arthritis of the knee are important for radiologists to recognize because these disorders are often clinically unsuspected. When they are known or clinically…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cartilage Repair Procedures
Cartilage injuries in the knee are common and can be a persistent source of pain or dysfunction. Many new surgical strategies have been developed to treat these lesions. It is…
A Biomechanical Approach to Interpreting Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Knee Injuries
This article discusses common injury mechanisms and the subsequent constellation of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in the knee following trauma in the context of instability, as distinguished by the…
Posterolateral and Posteromedial Corner Injuries of the Knee
Posterolateral (PLC) and posteromedial (PMC) corners of the knee represent complex anatomic regions because of intricate soft tissue and osseous relationships in small areas. Concise knowledge of these relationships is…
