Soft Tissue Trauma
Achilles Rupture
• Disruption of the tendon - edema
Normal
Achilles Rupture
• T2 image
• Focal high signal in
tendon (white)
• Irregular
appearance to
tendon
• Tendon normally
low signal (black)

Knee Trauma
Bone Contusions
Patellar dislocation/relocation pattern
• Bone edema as
result of contusion
• See high signal
from bleeding/ fluid
in bone marrow
• Kissing lesions
during dislocation
of patella
Knee pain
Normal
Anterior horn lateral meniscus tear
Normal
• Anterior horn meniscal tear
• High signal with extension to the superior
surface
Knee Pain
Radial tear lateral meniscus
Normal
Normal
High signal medial posterior
lateral meniscus = tear
Knee pain basketball player
Normal
Jumper’s knee (patellar tendinosis/partial
tearing)
• High signal
from
edema in
the tendon
and
adjacent
tissues
Normal
Muscle Tear
• Coronal section of
the thigh
• High signal on Fat
suppressed images
• Fluid-Hematoma in
adductor muscle
group
• Compare to right
thigh
Myositis Ossificans
• Amorphous bone
formation in soft
tissues
• Likely related to
prior trauma
Widened Mediastinum
• Deceleration injury
• Widened superior
mediastinum
• Must exclude
positional factors
(supine patient, AP
film)
• CT can identify
blood
• Angiogram to
separate aortic
injury from other
vessel injuries
Aortic Tear
• Arch aortogram
• Arrow indicates
area of aortic tear
