What you need to know about MRI of the shoulder joint?

today, the shoulder pain is a very common phenomenon experienced by many people. Very often 1st look impossible to identify what exactly it is connected. That is why magnetic resonance imaging of the shoulder joint-is sometimes almost the only way to spend a full diagnosis. By the way, in SPb to get an MRI of the shoulder joint .

unlike radiography, this method of research is completely safe and more informative, have absolutely no adverse effects.

the

Main advantages

This procedure has the following advantages:

the
  • Helps to distinguish healthy tissue from the patient;
  • Allows you to obtain information about the condition of the joints, soft tissues and cartilage;
  • Can be used in the examination of children;

Indications

MRI of shoulder joint often do:

the
  • for the diagnosis of bone tumors;
  • sprains of joints;

  • polyarthritis, osteoarthritis and arthritis;
  • in different tumors and metastases in the joints;
  • with sporting and domestic injuries;
  • if you suspect pathology in the periarticular bag.

For this study used MRI scanners with magnetic field power 1,5 T MRI is also more convenient, as it allows to study simultaneously in 3 planes: oblique sagittal, oblique coronal and oxytelinae. This gives you the opportunity to obtain three-dimensional and more accurate information about the disease.

Sometimes assigned to conduct magnetic resonance imaging with a contrast substance. This method is called artgrafi and it is especially needed if it is necessary to check the mechanical functions of the shoulder joint. This method is indirect and direct.

So, for the study of the shoulder joint often use indirect artgrafi. With this method the diagnosis of the person injected contrast agent (intravenously). Then, after about 20 min. man performs physical exercises in order to load his shoulder, and then sent to the study.
