'''Shoulder arthrography''' is useful in cases of suspected biceps tendon injury, for evaluation of shoulder [[Osteochondrosis Dissecans]] and for any other joint pathology such as tumours.

Contrast studies are mainly used to investigate '''orthopaedic conditions''' such as [[OCD]] in the shoulder, stifle and tarsus, and degenerative joint disease. Contrast medium is injected aseptically into the joint and orthogonal radiographs are taken.

Contrast studies are also extremely useful for the assessment of joint and tendon sheath integrity following a '''traumatic incident'''. Contrast can either be injected into the penetrating wound tract to assess dispersal of the medium. Alternatively, contrast can be injected into a joint or tendon sheath in an area away from the puncture, and leakage through the wound can be assessed.
