Magnetic resonance imaging of entheses. Part 2

Entheses are the sites of attachment of a tendon, ligament, or joint capsule to bone. In a previous article new options for visualizing entheses and related structures, including ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequences, and magic angle imaging were described. In this article an approach to image...

Zusammenfassung:	Entheses are the sites of attachment of a tendon, ligament, or joint capsule to bone. In a previous article new options for visualizing entheses and related structures, including ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequences, and magic angle imaging were described. In this article an approach to image interpretation is described together with normal examples using UTE and other pulse sequences with and without magic angle imaging. Examples of images seen in disease are included. The new options for imaging entheses may provide useful options for biomechanical study and recognition of involvement in disease.
