Aug 15, 2024 · Shoulder bursae refer to sacs surrounding the shoulder joint that are filled with synovial fluid. As with bursae in general, they facilitate movement and reduce friction at tendon-tendon and tendon-bone interfaces. There are five main bursae around the shoulder. They include: subacromial-subdeltoid (SASD) bursa. subscapular recess. subcoracoid ...

The subcoracoid bursa is one of 5 bursae about the shoulder: the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa, the subscapularis recess/bursa, the subcoracoid bursa, the coracoclavicular bursa, and the supra-acromial bursa (figure 8). A bursa is a synovial lined potential space which reduces friction at tendon-tendon and tendon-bone interfaces.

Aug 22, 2014 · There are several bursae around the shoulder, including the subacromial-subdeltoid and subcoracoid bursae . These potential synovium-lined spaces are located at interfaces between soft tissues and between soft tissue and bone and provide a cushion between these structures.

Apr 2, 2012 · MR is the best imaging modality to examen patients with shoulder pain and instability. In Shoulder MR-Part I we will focus on the normal anatomy and the many anatomical variants that may simulate pathology.

Nov 23, 2012 · We describe the MR anatomy of the subcoracoid bursa and findings associated with subcoracoid effusion. CONCLUSION. Fluid in the subcoracoid space, revealed on MR imaging of the shoulder, may lie in the subcoracoid bursa or the subscapularis recess (both structures can be distinguished with MR imaging).

Magnetic resonance imaging has revolutionized the diagnosis of shoulder lesions, in many cases becoming the method of choice. However, anatomical variations, artifacts and the particularity of the method may be a source of pitfalls, especially for less experienced radiologists.

May 2, 2011 · Deep-seated bursae are depicted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). On MRI, the bursa is seen as a high T2 fluid-filled structure. CT shows the inflamed bursa as hypodense with an enhancing wall.

New advances and research in MRI have provided additional potential uses for evaluating shoulder derangements. Keywords: MRI, shoulder, glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular (AC) joint, rotator cuff. Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to review frequently encountered pitfalls as they pertain to the biceps tendon, bursae and cysts around the shoulder, incidental findings, postsurgical findings, and frequently encountered imaging artifacts.

Mar 20, 2024 · MRI of the shoulder is one of the more frequent examinations faced in daily radiological practice. This approach is an example of how to create a radiological report of an MRI shoulder with coverage of the most common anatomical sites of possible pathology.
