PERONEUS BREVIS TENDON TEAR MRI DISCUSSION: WHAT'S THE dX Peroneus Brevis Tendon Tear: MRI demonstrates a peroneus brevis tendon tear. There is a longitudinal split resulting in two components of the Peroneus Brevis tendon (Pink arrows). Peroneus Longus (Blue arrow) is normal. WHAT ARE THE FINDINGS There should only be two tendons in the peroneal
SHOULDER SYNOVITIS MRI RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS DISCUSSION: WHAT'S THE Dx? Extensive synovitis and ACJ erosions from Rheumatoid arthritis. Having synovitis in multiple locations (even if there are no erosions) should raise the possibility of an inflammatory abnormality. Â Thank you to Dr Joe Thomas (Rheumatologist) for the case.

SACRAL FRACTURE MRI: HOW TO FIND ON A LUMBAR MRI HOW TO FIND SACRAL FRACTURE ON LUMBAR MRI When the clinical examination and referral notes are inadequate (Back Pain F.I.) the cause of the pain may well be sacral rather than lumbar. On a standard lumbar spine MRI with axial and sagittal scans, the sacrum
SPINE MRI INCIDENTAL FINDINGS SPINE MRI INCIDENTAL FINDINGS: WHAT'S THE Dx There is a mass in the deep lobe of the left parotid (We don’t have Histology as yet).  The key here is noticing the asymmetry between the left and right (Green arrow) lobes.  Even though its obvious and large, it’s still easy
