Özet
We describe a special shoulder MR arthrography technique, performed with an anterior approach under CT fluoroscopy guidance. CT guided anterior approach can easily and accurately detect anatomical location. Eighty-five MR arthrograms of the glenohumeral joint were obtained prospectively in 85 consecutive patients with shoulder pain in which rotator cuff and labral lesions were suspected. Total procedure time was less than 8 minutes and this was well tolerated by all patients. The mean level of pain reported by patients during the procedure was 2.1 on a scale of 0-10. This MR arthrography technique is useful particularly in patients with cuff and labral lesions. This technique of shoulder MR arthrography is accurate, rapid, easy to perform, and well tolerated by patients.
