Figure 2. Magnetic resonance imaging of the elbow. (A, B) Sagittal section (left to right T1-weighted [T1W], T2-weighted fat-suppressed [T2FS]). (C) Axial T1-weighted, (D) post-gadolinium contrast imaging. A slight effusion was present in the anterior and posterior recessus joint, with an hyperintense signal on T2W sequence (black arrow). There is extensive effusion of the bicipitoradial bursa, with synovial thickening that is low signal intensity on T1W and T2FS sequences and mild peripheral enhancement after contrast (D) (white arrow), consistent with bicipitoradial bursitis.
