Power Doppler Sonography: Applications in Musculoskeletal Imaging.

Power Doppler sonography (PDS) is a recently developed technique that depicts moving blood volume within tissues. The enhanced sensitivity of PDS makes it possible to depict soft tissue vascularity, facilitating its role in the evaluation of musculoskeletal inflammatory diseases. A broad range of new and potential applications of PDS in the musculoskeletal system will be described including its use in the setting of bursal, tendon, articular, and muscle diseases, and in the evaluation of fluid collections and soft tissue masses.

Complications of Arthrography.

Serious reactions to intra-articular contrast media are exceedingly rare, and arthrography is considered to be a very safe procedure. To assess the safety of arthrography, a questionnaire was sent to 180 radiologists experienced in arthrography. The 134 respondents had performed approximately 262,000 arthrograms throughout their career. Their experience included 45 cases of infection, eight cases of anaphylaxis, and five cases of vascular complications; no deaths were reported. Most of the reactions reported were minor and included pain, vasovagal reactions, and urticaria. In addition, the respondents reported approximately 13,300 magnetic resonance (MR) arthrograms, which had been performed with intra-articular gadolinium. Of these, there were only six cases of reported reactions, all of which were minor, including vasovagal reactions, pain, and headaches.

Arthrosonography.

Ultrasound plays an important role in the evaluation and management of joint disease. In this article, applications of sonography in the diagnosis of articular disease are detailed. General arthrosonographic technique is reviewed, emphasizing normal anatomy and pathologic conditions, and applications at specific joints are discussed. Finally, ultrasound-guided joint interventions are described, including indications and technique.
