  2. Dislocated shoulder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dislocated_shoulder

    Anterior shoulder dislocation while carrying a frail elder. A dislocated shoulder is a condition in which the head of the humerus is detached from the glenoid fossa. [2] Symptoms include shoulder pain and instability. [2] Complications may include a Bankart lesion, Hill-Sachs lesion, rotator cuff tear, or injury to the axillary nerve. [1]

  3. Rotator cuff tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear

    MRI of normal shoulder intratendinous signal MRI of rotator cuff full-thickness tear. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound [46] are comparable in efficacy and helpful in diagnosis, although both have a false positive rate of 15–20%. [47] MRI can reliably detect most full-thickness tears, although very small pinpoint tears may be missed.

  4. Magnetic resonance myelography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_myelography

    Magnetic resonance myelography (MR myelography or MRI myelography) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that can provide anatomic information about the subarachnoid space. It is a type of MRI examination that uses a contrast medium and magnetic resonance imaging scanner to detect pathology of the spinal cord , including the location of a ...

  5. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to generate pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to form images of the organs in the body.

  6. Glenolabral articular disruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenolabral_articular...

    On non-contrast MRI or CT arthrography imaging, lesions might be harder to find, but the more recent 3T MRI scanners might increase the pick-up rate in the absence of contrast. [4] The accepted gold standard for identifying or detecting the glenolabral articular disruption lesion is MR arthroscopy (MRA). [1]

  7. Physics of magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_magnetic...

    Modern 3 Tesla clinical MRI scanner.. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique mostly used in radiology and nuclear medicine in order to investigate the anatomy and physiology of the body, and to detect pathologies including tumors, inflammation, neurological conditions such as stroke, disorders of muscles and joints, and abnormalities in the heart and blood vessels ...

  8. Shoulder joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_joint

    Animation of shoulder joint showing the supraspinatus muscle. The rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder produce a high tensile force, and help to pull the head of the humerus into the glenoid cavity. The glenoid cavity is shallow and contains the glenoid labrum which deepens it and aids stability. With 120 degrees of unassisted flexion, the ...

  9. Safety of magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_of_magnetic...

    All patients are reviewed for contraindications prior to MRI scanning. Medical devices and implants are categorized as MR Safe, MR Conditional or MR Unsafe: [6] MR-Safe – The device or implant is completely non-magnetic, non-electrically conductive, and non-RF reactive, eliminating all of the primary potential threats during an MRI procedure.
