What does this mri report mean
Small developing vertical cleft along the radial side of the membranous TFC disc fibers, best seen on image 11 series 5. There is no evidence of contrast transit into the distal radioulnar joint. The remainder of the TFC disc is intact and grossly unremarkable.
Intact intrinsic ligaments. There is no widening of the intervals. There is no contrast in the midcarpal compartment.
Increased interstitial signal within the ECU tendon is likely due to tendinopathy and a developing longitudinal split. The remaining tendons are grossly unremarkable.
Normal caliber median and ulnar nerves.
Minimal generalized wrist osteoarthrosis with minimal to mild chondromalacia, small intraosseous cysts and minimal osteophytosis.

Experiences with Artroscan C
I know this is a really old question but I'm answering so that maybe others might learn.

The scanner you refer to is actually the E Scan (or possibly the E Scan XQ or the E Scan Opera) by Esaote.

You are correct, the flex coil for hips does not give good coverage or good signal. Most of our E Scan customers never use the coil.

A larger problem for hip studies is that the opening in the magnet and the FOV of the magnet severely limits the ability to scan patients of average and larger than average size.

the same can be said of doing shoulder exams on this scanner, in general the images are not met with happiness by the radiologists.

Faster pulse sequences
Hi,
I have been learning about faster MRI sequences and have two questions

1) With "Fast (Turbo) gradient echo", in which we apply a spoiler gradient, do we not eventually end up with no longitudinal magnetization because TR is always shorter than T1? Hence shouldn't we eventually get no signal at all?


2) in SSFP (Steady-state free precession) we can apply an RF pulse of 90 degrees (in which T1>>T2) to get heart-blood contrast. How is this any different to a standard spin-echo sequence in terms of timing?

Thank you

FLAIR
What are the causes of high FLAIR signal? Is there a list? Or is it just everything that is high on T2 and is not pure CSF fluid would be high.

receiver gain in siemens trio
Hi, we measured a phantom with two receiver gain option: LOW and HIGH (available from parameters).
We would like to calculate the difference in signal intensity, but unfortunately the rda files headers do not contain any information about the receiver gain value.
Does anyone have a clue how I could find the receiver gain value?
Thanks.
