Arthrogram
Definition
The radiological image, film, or graphical record obtained following an arthrography, highlighting the internal anatomical details of a joint injected with a contrast medium. This visual medical record serves as an essential tool for identifying meniscal tears, hidden ligamentous ruptures, and deep cartilage defects that cannot be visualized via simple radiological techniques.
