In rare cases where isolated acute sprain of the iliotibial band is present, edema usually surrounds both the superficial and deep sides of the iliotibial band, whereas with iliotibial band friction syndrome, edema is usually observed only deep in the iliotibial band (31). 1994;162(2):377-383. Thus, an approach that differs from the guidance in this document, standing alone, does not necessarily imply that the approach was below the standard of care. It may be possible to shorten the time required for an ankle or hindfoot MR examination without compromising diagnostic yield. 160. Zbojniewicz, A.M. Impingement syndromes of the ankle and hindfoot. However, when relatively larger abnormalities like tumors or infections are being imaged, an interslice gap of up to 33% may be useful to increase anatomic coverage and/or decrease imaging time in studies where motion artifacts are unavoidable.

Talocalcaneal impingement, between the lateral talus and calcaneus, is considered to be one of the two entities constituting the so-called extra-articular lateral hindfoot impingement (the other is a subfibular impingement that occurs between the calcaneus and fibula) (35). Iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL) fast spin-echo imaging of the ankle: initial clinical experience. Impingement is a clinical syndrome of chronic pain and restricted range of movement caused by compression of abnormal bone or soft tissue within the ankle joint.

It is important to consider impingement or friction syndromes in children to explain some lower extremity problems. Iliopsoas, subspine, and ischiofemoral impingements have been recently described, while some features of femoroacetabular and talocalcaneal impingements have recently gained increased relevance in the pediatric population. Bags of distilled water or sat pads may be necessary to achieve homogeneous spectral fat suppression because of the field heterogeneity accentuated by the off-center position and irregular airsoft-tissue interfaces often encountered when imaging the ankle and hindfoot [164].

CAS The variety and complexity of human conditions make it impossible to always reach the most appropriate diagnosis or to predict with certainty a particular response to treatment. Alternatively, newer fast 3-D gradient-recalled and fast spin-echo sequences can produce near-isotropic images that can be reconstructed into multiple imaging planes; using these methods, a single volumetric acquisition can substitute for several acquisitions in separate imaging planes, thereby decreasing the total time required for a complete examination [60,171]. 6. It usually occurs following a sprain injury or repetitive microtrauma causing haemorrhage, synovial hyperplasia, and abnormal soft tissue interposition within the joint. Avoiding gradient-echo imaging and reducing the voxel size by increasing the imaging matrix and/or decreasing the slice thickness and FOV will help reduce the magnitude of susceptibility artifacts [174]. In this impingement type, which has been increasingly recognized during the last 1015 years, acetabular labrum and sometimes joint cartilage is compressed between the acetabulum and proximal femur usually during flexion. For very small relatively superficial structures, a microscopy coil provides the SNR for very high spatial resolution at the expense of anatomic coverage [96]. Evaluation of articular cartilage and osteochondral infractions can be performed with fast spin-echo, long-TR (water-sensitive or intermediate-weighted) images or with gradient-echo sequences [140,159,160]. 6, Journal of Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Disorders, Vol. It is classically described in young athletic patients following an inversion sprain injury with subsequent chronic anterolateral pain and swelling. 177.

Evaluation of anterior talofibular ligament injury with stress radiography, ultrasonography and MR imaging. Lateral hindfoot impingement (LHI) is a subtype of ankle impingement syndrome with classic MRI findings. Marked degenerative changes as extra articular bone marrow edema and cystic changes are seen at both talocalcaneal and calcaneofibular regions. A single surface coil can image relatively superficial structures, while a pair of surface coils joined in an array or in a Helmholtz configuration can substitute for a whole volume coil, if one is not available.

Shah, MD 23, No. A rectangular FOV for coronal and transaxial images of the hindfoot can save imaging time without sacrificing in-plane resolution [148]. Iliotibial band friction syndrome results from the compression of the distal iliotibial band against the lateral femoral epicondyle during intense physical activity (i.e., repetitive knee flexion and extension as in running, cycling, rowing, and skiing) (29). In advanced cases, the soft tissue can become molded to the triangular shape of the anterolateral gutter. Nancy K. Rollins, MD The prone position is more comfortable for some patients, reduces involuntary motion, and may reduce claustrophobic feelings in susceptible individuals [153]. Biomechanical alterations following corrective or tumor removal surgery may be a reason for the development of some impingement syndromes, and it is important to be familiar with their MRI findings as these syndromes may explain persistent or new onset pain following such surgeries.
