Мagnetiс-resonance imaging of damage of the shoulder against presence of the accompanying impingement syndrome
Abstract
We present the results of examinations of the patients, suffering from the damage of a humeral joint. These examinations were carried out by means of a MR tomography using a high-field MR-tomograph with magnetic field intensity of 1.5 Tl and a flexible surface coil SENSE-Flex-M. There were used three mutually perpendicular projections (oblique coronal, oblique sagittal, axial), pulse sequences FFE T2W, proton density-weighted - TSE PDW and the sequences with the signal of fatty fabric suppression - TSE PD SPAIR. For all this the great attention was paid to the accompanying degenerative changes in the rotary cuff muscles.
