Thank you, Dr. Levy for your very helpful explanation!
Zareh Darakjian Ph.D. Jan 14, 2007:
Very welcome, Giovanna!
Dr Sue Levy (X) Jan 12, 2007:
"enhancement" is only used when contrast medium is injected, as in a CT scan. In a normal X-ray, the contrast ranges from transparent to opaque.
texjax DDS PhD Jan 12, 2007:
Please Giovanna, read my note below
Zareh Darakjian Ph.D. Jan 12, 2007:
Thanks, Giovanna. Then I would use "enhancement" as opposed to "thickening"..
giovie72 (asker) Jan 12, 2007:
X-ray Yes, Zareh it is an x-ray :-)) Thanks so much
Zareh Darakjian Ph.D. Jan 12, 2007:
Hi Giovanna: If the reference is to an X-Ray image, then "enhancement" instead of thickening would be more appropriate in my opinion.

increased subcortical density of the greater tuberosity of the humerus

Trochite refers to the greater tuberosity of the humerus, located proximally.

"The growth plate of the humeral head unites with the growth plate of the greater tuberosity several years before the combined growth plate of the humeral head and greater tuberosity unites with the proximal humeral shaft. "

subcortical thickening of the trochlea tendon

I would think so...

Abstract:

The action of the superior oblique muscle depends on both the contractile function of the muscle belly as well as the force transmission function of the tendon trochlea complex. Brown's syndrome is a restriction to elevation in adduction presumed due to an anomaly of the superior oblique ** tendon trochlea complex. ** This report presents two patients with an unusual restriction to elevation in adduction in the affected eye, and a clinical picture consistent with a Brown's syndrome. A non-invasive analysis of the functional anatomy of the superior oblique was performed using a high-resolution MRI with surface coils. Imaging in the first case revealed a cyst in the area of the right superior oblique tendon just posterior to the trochlea in primary position. The second patient had undergone reattachment of an avulsed trochlea after a dog bite (canine tooth syndrome). Imaging in the second case revealed scarring and connective tissue disruption around the tendon impeding muscle function. These findings provide distinct mechanical explanations for Brown's syndrome.

I also should have said "subcortical enhancement of the trochlea-tendon complex".

thank you

Yes, Dr. texjax.. I realized that after I posted the references... my mistake...

Giovanna: sei certa che si tratti di esame spalle e non di esame arti superiori? La troclea si trova nella porzione distale dell'omero, al gomito, non alla spalla. In quella porzione l'omero articola con l'ulna.

Giovanna, ha ragione Carlos!

Ciao Bruna, si, il modulo legge esattamente: Esame Spalle a Confronto. Cosa ne pensi? E come sempre grazie per l'aiuto. Giovanna
