VALUE OF PERIODICALLY ROTATED OVERLAPPING PARALLEL LINES WITH ENHANCED RECONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE COMPARED TO T2 WEIGHTED TURBO SPIN ECHO SEQUENCE ON ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES IN MRI SHOULDER.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the study is to analyze the uses of conventional T2 sequences and PROPELLER technique in view of artifact reduction, increase the image quality and identify signs of pathology on shoulder magnetic resonance imaging. A total number of 36 Materials and Method: patients who underwent shoulder MRI with pain intolerance were included in the study. We used PROPELLER and without PROPELLER technology in the same participants. The MRI scans were evaluated separately by qualied musculoskeletal radiologists. Artifacts, overall image quality, and delineation of several anatomic structures were all investigated in relation to the diagnostic value of an MR arthrography examination. The signicance of propeller was analyzed by implementing Mann Whitney U test. The TSE sequences had worse pulsation artifacts and Results: better overall image quality than PROPELLER sequences. In both Coronal Oblique and Sagittal Oblique approach, delineation of all addressed anatomic structures was much better with PROPELLER sequences than with TSE. The PROPELLER approach for MRI of the Conclusion: shoulder minimizes the frequency of sequences with diagnostic impairment owing to motion artifacts and enhances picture quality when compared to traditional TSE sequences.
