WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN IGHL CAPSULITIS: Thickening of the IGHL Increased signal on PD/ PDFS. Anterior band more commonly involved than posterior band. With capsulitis/ synovitis, the IGHL thickens and becomes hyperintense on the PD and PDFS scans. Image above: Diffuse thickening and increased PD signal of the IGHL ( blue arrows). The …

The normal synovium cannot be differentiated from the capsule and will not enhance with contrast. Synovitis is usually generalised and associated with an effusion, but …
One of the best things about MSK MRI is even though you need to have a good understanding of the radiological anatomy, the response to injury is similar if not the same in most joints. So often you can learn the response in one area and apply it to every other joint. How do tendons …
The 2016 ISMRM Annual Meeting is being held in Singapore, which is great news for us in this region. But is it worth going to? It depends…. I have been to a number of ISMRM meetings over the years and its a huge meeting, but the difficulty from a radiologist’s perspective, is that it …
