There is some burning pain from the anesthetic and a painful bubbling feeling in the joint after the contrast is injected. This only lasts 20 – 30 hours until the Contrast is absorbed. During this time, while it is allowed, it is painful to use the limb for around 10 hours. After that the radiologist can more clearly see what is going on under your skin and can get results out within 24 to 48 hours. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types">Types</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Arthrogram&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Types"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Conventional_arthrography">Conventional arthrography</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Arthrogram&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Conventional arthrography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It is used primarily in the evaluation of menisci, cruciate ligaments, articular cartilage, and loose body within a joint. <a href="/wiki/Fluoroscopy" title="Fluoroscopy">Fluoroscopic</a> allows general view of the medial, lateral, and patellofemoral ligaments of the joint, overall cartilage thickness, focal defects, <a href="/wiki/Imbibition" title="Imbibition">imbibition</a> (absorption} of contrast material into the articular cartilage (a sign of cartilage fibrillation - splaying and fraying of the cartilage).<sup id="cite_ref-Hayes_1992_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hayes_1992-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="CT_arthrography">CT arthrography</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Arthrogram&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: CT arthrography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>CT arthrography is used to examine the patellofemoral joint.<sup id="cite_ref-Hayes_1992_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hayes_1992-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="MR_arthrography">MR arthrography</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Arthrogram&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: MR arthrography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>MR sequences such as <a href="/wiki/Spin_echo" title="Spin echo">spin echo</a> with T1 and T2-weighted sequences, <a href="/wiki/MRI_sequence#Inversion_recovery" class="mw-redirect" title="MRI sequence">inversion recovery</a>, chemical shift selective techniques, and <a href="/wiki/MRI_sequence#Gradient_echo" class="mw-redirect" title="MRI sequence">gradient echo</a> techniques are used to examine the articular cartilage.<sup id="cite_ref-Hayes_1992_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hayes_1992-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Use">Use</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Arthrogram&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Shoulder arthrography can be used to study <a href="/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear" title="Rotator cuff tear">tears of the rotator cuff</a>, glenoid labrum and <a href="/wiki/Biceps_brachii_muscle" class="mw-redirect" title="Biceps brachii muscle">biceps</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-principles_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-principles-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The type of contrast injected into the joint depends on the subsequent imaging that is planned. For pneumoarthrography, gas is used, for CT or radiographs, a water-soluble radiopaque contrast, and for MRI, <a href="/wiki/Gadolinium" title="Gadolinium">gadolinium</a>. Double-contrast arthrography can be used for more anatomically complex cases, though its use is relatively infrequent. The needle is radiographically guided into the glenohumeral joint space, after which the patient is evaluated by fluoroscopy, CT or MRI. The gadolinium in the contrast fluid yields a bright signal on <a href="/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging#T1_Weighted_MRI" title="Magnetic resonance imaging">T1 weighted images</a> allowing for better evaluation of the <a href="/wiki/Articular_capsule" class="mw-redirect" title="Articular capsule">joint capsule</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Joint" title="Joint">articular</a> surface of the bones and, in particular, the labral cartilage.

Therapeutic arthrograms often distend the joint with cortisone and lidocaine, with a common site being the shoulder. Diagnostic arthrograms can be direct, as described above with penetration of the joint, or indirect, by a venous injection of contrast material and delayed imaging with CT or MRI.<sup id="cite_ref-principles_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-principles-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Risks">Risks</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Arthrogram&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Risks"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Patients who are allergic to or sensitive to medications, contrast dyes, local anesthesia, iodine, or latex should not have this procedure.
