Examination: CT Guided Needle Placement and Injection for CT Arthrography
Technical: The procedure was performed by Dr. Khan. The procedure was explained to the patient
and consent was obtained.
IMPRESSION: Successful CT guided placement of arthrogram contrast into the left shoulder for Ct arthrograpy.
Examination: CT Arthrogram of the Left Shoulder
Technical: This study was performed with the acquisition of helical images through the left
shoulder and reconstructed in all 3 planes at 3 mm thickness.
IMPRESSION:
1. No CT evidence a recurrent rotator cuff tear.
2. Mild to moderate external impingement secondary to downward acromial spurring.
Thank you in advance for you assistance.
