Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...
Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...
Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation01:23

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation

Palpation is a crucial tactile examination method for assessing abdominal organs and detecting conditions like tenderness, distention, masses, or fluid. It involves both light and deep palpation techniques, each serving specific diagnostic purposes. Light palpation helps identify tenderness and other surface-level indicators, while deep palpation locates and assess abdominal masses and organ boundaries. A skilled professional can gather valuable insights through palpation, including evaluating...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Short volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) sequences can effectively substitute for T1-weighted with fat saturation (T1-FS) sequences in MR arthrography for diagnosing rotator cuff tears, especially larger ones.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Orthopedic Imaging
  • Musculoskeletal MRI

Background:

  • Magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography is crucial for diagnosing rotator cuff tears.
  • Traditional T1-weighted with fat saturation (T1-FS) sequences have long acquisition times.
  • Faster imaging techniques are needed to improve patient comfort and workflow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of short volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) sequences as a replacement for T1-FS sequences in MR arthrography.
  • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of VIBE sequences for detecting rotator cuff tears.

Main Methods:

  • Eighty-two patients underwent shoulder MR arthrography using both VIBE (13s) and T1-FS (5 min) sequences.
  • Two radiologists independently scored rotator cuff tendons for tear types.
  • T1-FS sequences served as the gold standard, with surgical correlation in a subset of patients.

Main Results:

  • VIBE sequences demonstrated >92% sensitivity and specificity for large partial and full thickness rotator cuff tears.
  • Diagnostic agreement between VIBE and T1-FS sequences showed high concordance (kappa = 0.86).
  • VIBE accurately diagnosed all surgically confirmed large partial and full thickness tears.

Conclusions:

  • Short VIBE sequences offer good concordance with T1-FS sequences for rotator cuff imaging.
  • VIBE is particularly effective for diagnosing large partial and full thickness tears.
  • The rapid acquisition of VIBE makes it suitable for claustrophobic or painful shoulder patients.
