Abstract

Simple prepatellar bursitis is easily diagnosed both clinically and by MRI. MRI shows the typical T1 and T2 lengthening of fluid within the bursa. However, because of complex MRI appearance of hemorrhage, chronic hemorrhagic bursitis and the size of the prepatellar mass the clinical and MRI appearance can be very different.

Technetium-99m human immunoglobulin imaging in patients with subacromial impingement or adhesive capsulitis.

Although recognised as useful in detecting soft-tissue inflammation and infection, technetium-99m human immunoglobulin (Tc-99m HIG) has not been widely studied in evaluating regional inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions. Tc-99m HIG scintigraphy was undertaken for consecutive patients referred to a rheumatology clinic with unilateral shoulder pain, diagnosed with either subacromial impingement (n = 12) or adhesive capsulitis (n = 4) from clinical examination, radiographic, and in some cases arthrographic findings. In all patients there were no differences in Tc-99m HIG images between symptomatic and asymptomatic shoulders. The findings are discussed, with reference to patterns of tissue inflammation which have been associated with each of the two conditions and in the context of patients referred to hospital relatively late after onset of symptoms (4-6 months).
