Summary of Keys in the MRI Assessment of Calf Strains. Use optimal MRI technique with relatively small FOV and suitably high matrix to provide optimal resolution while maintaining reasonable SNR. Look for discontinuity of the medial gastrocnemius aponeurosis, side-to-side for vertical tears and slice-to-slice for transverse tears. This is the ...

2024年6月3日 · A calf muscle tear occurs when the muscles at the back of the lower leg are overstretched or strained, leading to a partial or complete rupture of the muscle fibers. The calf is composed of two main muscles: the gastrocnemius and the soleus.

calf injury. MRI of the calf may not be indicated in all patients presenting with calf injury, and time to RTP in injured athletes is mostly guided by clinical criteria. However, many elite athletes undergo MRI in suspected calf tears to confirm the diagnosis, access severity and guide rehabilitation. A previous MRI study has focused on size ...

2019年5月14日 · Each tendon, located on the dorsal surface of the toe to which it goes, divides into three fasciculi: the intermediate, attached to the dorsum of the base of the middle phalanx; and two lateral, which converge to the dorsum of the base on the distal phalanx. The margins of each tendon are bound to the sides of the back of the proximal phalanx.

4 天之前 · MRI quantification of muscle fat accumulation has also been shown to be responsive over 12 months in CMT1A, 12, 15-17 as well as other forms of CMT and related disorders. 18, 19 In particular, we previously published 12-month follow-up in 17 CMT1A patients, which demonstrated that bilateral calf muscle fat fraction was the most responsive ...

2007年5月5日 · Magnetic resonance imaging is a sensitive imaging modality for confirming muscle strain to the muscles of the calf muscle complex and accurately identifies the location of injury within the muscle–tendon–bone unit.

This retrospective study utilizing MRI demonstrates that the medial head of the gastrocnemius is the most commonly injured muscle of the calf, closely followed by the soleus, the latter finding rarely reported in the sonographic literature. Dual injuries of …

2024年12月5日 · Background: Calf muscle strain injuries (CMSI), also known as "tennis leg," are frequently observed in middle-aged and physically active people, including non-professional athletes. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently used to assess the extent of these injuries, the relationship between MRI findings and long-term functional ...

2018年9月9日 · Three-point Dixon MRI of leg muscles was performed to generate fat fraction (FF) maps, transferred to a central site for quality control and analysis. Clinical data collected included CMT Neuropathy Score.

2025年2月10日 · In this work, we employed ML models to quantify patterns in CE-MRI perfusion scans of skeletal calf muscles via algorithmic feature extraction. The proposed method provides an approach to map...
