Abstract:
An overview about the normal anatomy and frequent pathologies of tendons and ligaments of the elbow using MRI will be provided. The unique joint configuration and articulation, as well as passive ligamentous and active muscle structures as well as the unique configuration of the articulating components of the elbow contribute to joint stabilization. MRI is an essential imaging modality in patients with ligamentous injuries including the sequelae of joint dislocation as well as chronic pathologies such as long-standing and refractory tendinopathies. Ideally, when reporting MRI of the elbow, the joint is separated into its four compartments, anterior, posterior, medial and lateral, allowing precise, comprehensive and structured reporting.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
