Rotator Interval

MR Arthrography of Rotator Interval, Long Head of the Biceps Brachii, and Biceps Pulley of the ShoulderApril 2005 Radiology, 235, 21-30.

Pyogenic Liver Abscess







Note: "Cluster Sign"

Lateral and Medial Ankle Ligaments

Lateral Ligaments



Deltoid Ligament Complex 

Deep Components (2)
1. ATTL -- attached to anterior colliculus of MM - thin
2. PTTL -- attached to posterior colliculus of MM (fan shaped, striated(cf AITFL), lower 2/3's often bright)


Superficial Components (3)

1. TNavL
2. TSpringL - most important - coronal plane best
3. TCalcL
All blend with Superomedial component of Spring Ligament

Spring (Calcaneonavicular) Ligament
3 Components:
1. Superomedial CNL - most important -- abN if >5mm
2. Medioplantar oblique
3. Inferopalntar longitudinal - as thick as little finger



Periosteal apposition -- new periosteal bone superficial to cortex. Sign of chronic injury. Best on axial. With or without ossicles
