Entheses are the sites of attachment of a tendon, ligament, or joint capsule to bone. In a previous article new options for visualizing entheses and related structures, including ultrashort echo time (UTE) pulse sequences, and magic angle imaging were described. In this article an approach to image interpretation is described together with normal examples using UTE and other pulse sequences with and without magic angle imaging. Examples of images seen in disease are included. The new options for imaging entheses may provide useful options for biomechanical study and recognition of involvement in disease.
附着点是肌腱、韧带或关节囊与骨骼的附着部位。在前一篇文章中,描述了可视化附着点及相关结构的新方法,包括超短回波时间(UTE)脉冲序列和魔角成像。在本文中,将介绍一种图像解读方法,并给出使用UTE及其他有无魔角成像的脉冲序列的正常示例。文中还包括疾病中的图像示例。附着点成像的新方法可能为生物力学研究和疾病累及的识别提供有用的选择。
