Abstract

ABSTRACT

Conventional MR imaging allows clear depiction of the muscles, tendons, nerves, vessels, ligaments, bones, and cartilage that compose the elbow. MR arthrography can be a valuable supplementary technique for optimizing evaluation of intraarticular structures, including the undersurfaces of the collateral ligaments. Regardless of the imaging technique utilized, knowledge of normal anatomy-and normal anatomic variants-is fundamental for accurate assessment of normal and diseased states.
