Visualization of Intraarticular Structures of the Acromioclavicular Joint in an Ex Vivo Model Using a Dedicated MRI Protocol

Abstract

The described MRI protocol allows the visualization of the intraarticular fibrocartilaginous disk and the border between articular cartilage and the disk. Future clinical studies will indicate the diagnostic value of this protocol. We assume that this MRI protocol could help us to better understand AC joint disorders, in particular those located intraarticularly, and dislocations.
