| Which joints is contrast arthrography preformed on? | knee, wrist, hip, shoulder, and TMJ |
| What type of joints are the knee, wrist, hip and shoulder? | diarthrodial joint |
| What is the most frequent site of contrast arthrography? | the knee |
| What are the soft tissue structures of concern when doing a contrast arthrography? | ligaments, torn meniscus, articular cartilage, bursae, Baker's cysts and complete and incomplete rotator cuff tears |
| What connects bone to bone? | ligaments |
| Why type of needles are typicaly used in contrast arthrography of the hip and shoulder? | spinal needles |
| What is the process for joint effusion? | joint effusion before contrast administration |
| How is contrast administered? | under fluoroscopy |
