Official Title: Perfusion MRI-targeted Joint Embolization to Diagnose and Treat Neovascularity Associated With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain of the Shoulder, Hip and Knee: A Prospective Cohort Study
Brief Summary:
In this work the investigators will study the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal pain and abnormal blood flow (neovascularity) around the shoulder, hip and knee.Veterans with as history of chronic shoulder, hip or knee pain and mild/moderate joint degenerative changes will be potential study subjects.Blood flow around joints will be evaluated using perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Participants with demonstrably abnormal blood flow around their painful joint will be eligible for enrollment…
