Abstract

MRI is a valuable imaging technique for the evaluation of intraarticular diseases. Accurate interpretation of joint MRI necessitates sound knowledge of anatomy. In the field of joint anatomy, in addition to the discovery of new structures, previously reported joint components of unexplained function are also detected. In this review, joint anatomy researched actively over the last decade is discussed. Joint components including the rotator cable and the superior capsule of the shoulder, posterolateral corner and the anterolateral ligament complex of the knee, and the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis of the ankle joint are introduced and correlated with their MRI features.

MRI 영상은 관절 내 질환의 평가에 중요한 검사기법이며, 관절 MRI 영상의 해석을 위해선 견고한 해부학적 지식이 바탕이 되어야 한다. 관절의 해부학 분야에서는, 새로운 구조물이 발견되기도 하며, 과거에 보고되었으나 기능을 알지 못하던 구조물이 새롭게 주목을 받기도 한다. 본 종설에서는 최근 십여 년간 활발하게 연구되어온 견관절 회전근개 케이블(rotator cable) 및 상관절막(superior capsule), 슬관절의 후외측(posterolateral corner) 및 전외측 인대 복합(anterolateral ligament complex), 발목관절의 원위부 경비골 인대결합(distal tibiofibular syndesmosis) 등의 최근 연구 결과를 소개하고, 이를 MRI 영상을 통해 확인해 보았다.
