“…Although the study is considered to be more reliable than conventional MR imaging in the evaluation of osteochondral lesions, detection of loose bodies, and delineation of synovial plicae [47,52], it is usually used in the symptomatic postoperative knee to differentiate residual or recurrent meniscal tear from other causes of postoperative pain, such as ligamentous injury, articular cartilage lesions and loose bodies. While conventional MR imaging is valuable in the diagnosis of meniscal injuries in non-operated knees, it has been shown to be less reliable in the demonstration of recurrent or residual tears after meniscectomy or surgical repair [53][54][55].…”

Magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography has gained increasing popularity as a diagnostic tool in the assessment of intra-articular derangements. Its role has been studied extensively in the shoulder, but it also has been explored in the hip, elbow, knee, wrist and ankle. This article reviews the current role of direct MR arthrography in several major joints, with consideration of pertinent anatomy, techniques and applications.

“…One study found that dMRA could be used to detect 17 of 19 (89%) mediopatellar plicae whereas only 3 of 11 (27%) could be detected by cMRI [ 346 ]. A systematic review and meta-analysis reported a pooled sensitivity of 77% and pooled specificity of 58% for cMRI in the detection of medial patella plica syndrome [ 347 ].…”

Objective Direct magnetic resonance arthrography (dMRA) is often considered the most accurate imaging modality for the evaluation of intra-articular structures, but utilization and performance vary widely without consensus. The purpose of this white paper is to develop consensus recommendations on behalf of the Society of Skeletal Radiology (SSR) based on published literature and expert opinion. Materials and methods The Standards and Guidelines Committee of the SSR identified guidelines for utilization and performance of dMRA as an important topic for study and invited all SSR members with expertise and interest to volunteer for the white paper panel. This panel was tasked with determining an outline, reviewing the relevant literature, preparing a written document summarizing the issues and controversies, and providing recommendations. Results Twelve SSR members with expertise in dMRA formed the ad hoc white paper authorship committee. The published literature on dMRA was reviewed and summarized, focusing on clinical indications, technical considerations, safety, imaging protocols, complications, controversies, and gaps in knowledge. Recommendations for the utilization and performance of dMRA in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle/foot regions were developed in group consensus. Conclusion Although direct MR arthrography has been previously used for a wide variety of clinical indications, the authorship panel recommends more selective application of this minimally invasive procedure. At present, direct MR arthrography remains an important procedure in the armamentarium of the musculoskeletal radiologist and is especially valuable when conventional MRI is indeterminant or results are discrepant with clinical evaluation.
