Pre and Post Arthrogram Ultrasound Images of Joints

May 1, 2012 updated by: Jon Jacobson, University of Michigan

An Evaluation of Pre and Post Arthrogram Ultrasound Images of Joints: Does Arthrography Have a Role in Ultrasonography?

The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of contrast in ultrasonography of the joints.

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

To determine if using intra-articular contrast (contrast injected into a joint) will provide clearer, more precise ultrasound images of the joints then an ultrasound done without the use of a contrast agent.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Ultrasound Pre-Arthrogram
Ultrasound of the joint(s) before the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s)
Procedure: Ultrasound
Ultrasound of the joint(s) before the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s)
Procedure: Ultrasound
Ultrasound of the joint(s) after a clinically scheduled arthrogram is performed. Ultrasound images will then be compared to the arthrogram findings, other imaging findings such as MRI and surgical pathological findings such as arthroscopy (if any.)
Experimental: Ultrasound Post-Arthrogram
Ultrasound of the joint(s) after the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s), performed while the body still has a contrast agent in it from the arthrogram. The contrast agent varies with different joint areas, but is usually iodine based (like Ultravist.)
Procedure: Ultrasound
Ultrasound of the joint(s) before the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s)
Procedure: Ultrasound
Ultrasound of the joint(s) after a clinically scheduled arthrogram is performed. Ultrasound images will then be compared to the arthrogram findings, other imaging findings such as MRI and surgical pathological findings such as arthroscopy (if any.)
