Abstract

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy and reliability of shoulder magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography with three-dimensional (3D) isotropic intermediate-weighted turbo spin-echo (TSE) sampling perfection with application-optimised contrasts using different flip angle evolution (SPACE) in the diagnosis of superior labrum anterior-to-posterior (SLAP) lesions compared with two-dimensional (2D) TSE at 3.0 T.

Methods

MR arthrograms, including 2D TSE and 3D TSE-SPACE, in 87 patients who underwent arthroscopy were retrospectively analysed by two reviewers for the presence and type of SLAP lesions. Sensitivity and specificity were compared using McNemar’s test, and inter-observer agreement was calculated using Cohen’s kappa. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed.

Results

The mean sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 90%, 85% and 86% for 2D TSE, and 81%, 86% and 85% for 3D TSE-SPACE respectively, with no statistically significant differences. Inter-observer agreements were substantial in 2D TSE (κ = 0.76) and 3D TSE-SPACE (κ = 0.68). The areas under the ROC curves were 0.92 for 2D TSE and 0.90 for 3D TSE-SPACE, which were not significantly different.

Conclusions

MR arthrography with 3D TSE-SPACE showed comparable accuracy and substantial inter-observer agreement for the diagnosis of SLAP lesions

Key Points

MR arthrography is regarded as the definitive method of shoulder imaging
Different MR sequences are evolving for SLAP lesions
3D TSE-SPACE demonstrated comparable overall accuracy to 2D TSE for SLAP lesions
But more false-negative interpretations occurred using 3D TSE-SPACE
Further technical improvement is necessary before 3D TSE-SPACE replaces 2D TSE sequences
