PURPOSE: To use radiography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging after contrast material opacification of the bursae in cadaveric specimens to demonstrate anatomy bicipitoradial bursa report MR findings patients with bursitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bicipitoradial eight elbows were injected a solution containing gadodiamide, iodinated agent, gelatin. Radiographs images obtained each specimen, both supination pronation forearm. The morphology relationships studied. Anatomic sections...

Findings at high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the lateral and medial collateral ligaments ankle were compared with findings in anatomic sections from cadavers. MR six cadaveric feet was performed a newly developed local gradient coil axial coronal T1-weighted spin-echo sequences. Axial provided optimum views anterior posterior talofibular ligaments, deep layers ligament, tibionavicular ligament. Coronal allowed complete visualization calcaneofibular, talofibular,...

Purpose To describe the occurrence of imaging-depicted sports-related stress injuries, fractures, and muscle tendon disorders during 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Materials Methods Data on radiologic examinations were collected retrospectively analyzed centrally by two board-certified musculoskeletal radiologists (with a third radiologist acting as an adjudicator case discrepancies). Descriptive data all imaging using radiography, ultrasonography (US), magnetic...

The objective of our study was to assess the diagnostic performance and associations direct indirect MRI features metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint that are thought be related tears plantar plate (PP) using surgical findings as reference standard.We retrospectively included 23 patients with symptomatic instability lesser MTP joints who had undergone preoperative 1.5-T assessment. examinations were independently assessed by two musculoskeletal radiologists. Using data standard, we calculated...

Acute muscle injuries in elite athletes are responsible for a large portion of time loss injuries.To describe the frequency, anatomic distribution, and severity imaging-detected acute among who competed Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympics.We recorded all sports reported by National Olympic Committee medical teams Organising staff during Olympics. Imaging was performed at IOC's polyclinic within Village using ultrasound 3.0 T 1.5 MRI scanners. The assessment images centrally three...

To develop and validate a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) method capable of selecting the greatest Pectoralis Major Cross-Sectional Area (PMM-CSA) automatically segmenting PMM on an axial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We hypothesized CNN technique can accurately perform both tasks compared with manual reference standards. Our is based two steps: (A) segmentation model, (B) PMM-CSA selection. In step A, we manually segmented 134 T1-weighted PM MRIs. The model was trained from...

Background: Discrepancies exist in the literature regarding association of extent injuries assessed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with recovery times. Hypothesis: MRI-detected edema grade 1 hamstring does not affect return to play (RTP). Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Level Evidence: 4. Methods: Grade from 22 professional soccer players were retrospectively reviewed. The edema-like changes fluid-sensitive sequences 1.5-T MRI evaluated using craniocaudal length, percentage...
