Application of different sequences in diagnosis of bone contusion / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To investigate the clinical value of different magnetic resonance(MR) pulse sequences in the diagnosis of bone contusion.[Method]Forty-five patients with bone contusion underwent magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).All cases underwent computed radiography(CR),digital radiography(DR)or computed tomography(CT)and no bone fracture were revealed.Complications included swelling、pain and limit activity.The sagittal,coronal and transversal scanning were performed by Siemens Novus1.5T magnetic resonance imaging.The body coil were used on spines and knee coil on knees.MR pulse sequences included spin echo T1WI,Turbo spin echo T2WI,fl-2d T2WI and fat suppressed sequence T2WI.[Result]In 45 cases with bone contusion,44 cases were revealed on spin echo T1WI(97.7%),37 cases on Turbo spin echo T2WI(82.2%),24 cases on fl-2d T2WI(75%),45 cases on fat suppressed sequence T2WI(100%).The fat suppressed sequence T2WI was superior to TSE T2WI(
