Comparative StudyIsotropic MRI of the knee with 3D fast spin-echo extended echo-train acquisition (XETA): initial experience.
The purpose of our study was to prospectively compare a recently developed method of isotropic 3D fast spin-echo (FSE) with extended echo-train acquisition (XETA) with 2D FSE and 2D fast recovery FSE (FRFSE) for MRI of the knee. ⋯ Three-dimensional FSE XETA acquires high-resolution (approximately 0.7 mm) isotropic data with intermediate and T2-weighting that may be reformatted in arbitrary planes. Three-dimensional FSE XETA is a promising technique for MRI of the knee.

Wrist ligament tears: evaluation of MRI and combined MDCT and MR arthrography.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of MRI and a combination of MDCT arthrography and MR arthrography in the diagnosis of tears and cartilage abnormalities of the wrist ligaments. ⋯ MDCT arthrography appears more accurate than MRI and MR arthrography, particularly for discerning partial tears of the scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments that do not necessitate surgical therapy.

Cadaveric and MRI study of the musculotendinous contributions to the capsule of the symphysis pubis.
The purpose of this article is to define the relations of the symphysis pubis and capsular tissues to the adductor and rectus abdominis soft-tissue attachments on cadaver dissection and correlate with MRI of the anterior pelvis. ⋯ Cadaver and MRI findings show an intimate relationship between the adductor longus; rectus abdominis; and symphyseal cartilage, disk, and capsular tissues.
