Case Overview

This 22-year-old has medial pain from a fall. You are shown three sagittal images (images 1-3): a T1, a simple 2D gradient-echo, and a proton density with fat suppression frequency selective. You are also shown a coronal proton density fat suppression image (image 4). Your first step is to establish if this is a meniscus tear. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

This 13-year-old female cross country runner presents with left-sided anterolateral pain superior to the iliac crest. How many observations can you make from the two images? Image 1 is a fat-weighted coronal T1 image, and image 2 is a coronal proton-density image with fat suppression. #PelvisMRI #MRI #Radiology #RadRes

This 53-year-old male patient presents with pain and catching of the right shoulder when lifting the arm above the head. You will be shown proton density fat suppression sequences using STIR short T1 inversion recovery in the coronal and sagittal projections. The patient has a rotator cuff tear. Q1 - Is the tear full thickness? Look at the blue arrow on image 1 before you make your decision.

You are shown a sagittal T1 (image 1) and a sagittal proton density fat suppression water-weighted image (image 2) of the knee of a 61-year-old. What are the arrows indicating? What other abnormality is odd about the patella? #KneeMRI #MRI #radiology #radres

This 44-year-old female presents with right wrist pain. You are shown five images. A coronal proton density (image 1), a coronal proton density fat suppression (image 2), two sagittal proton density fat suppression (images 3 and 4), and an axial or short-axis proton density (image 5). A hyperintense mass around the ulna is obvious. Q1 - With regard to the pink arrows in images 1 and 2, what do you think the significance is? Q2 - What is your differential diagnosis for a septated cystic mass of the wrist? Q3 - What are masses that are associated with a "tail sign"? Q4 - What is the most common location for ganglion pseudocyst in the wrist? How about the second most common?
