3T MR imaging of the musculoskeletal system (Part II): clinical applications

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America
R Richard Ramnath

Abstract

The gain in SNR that is afforded by 3T MR imaging systems has tremendous clinical applications in the musculoskeletal system. The potential for demonstrating and enhancing the visibility of normal osseous, tendinous, cartilaginous, and ligamentous structures is exciting. Furthermore, harnessing this added signal to increase spatial resolution may improve our diagnostic abilities in various joints dramatically. Radiologists have enjoyed great success in assessing joint disease with current MR imaging field strengths; however, many intrinsic joint structures remain poorly evaluated, which leads to a golden opportunity for 3T MR imaging. The articular cartilage of the knee, the glenoid labrum of the shoulder, the intrinsic ligaments and TFC of the wrist, the collateral ligaments of the elbow, the labrum and articular cartilage of the hip, and the collateral ligaments of the ankle have been evaluated suboptimally on 1 .5T systems using routine nonarthrographic MR images. Because of the enhanced SNR, the higher spatial resolution, and the greater CNR of intrinsic joint structures at higher field strengths, 3T MR imaging has the potential to improve diagnostic abilities in the musculoskeletal system vastly, which translates into bett...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
