"The dilution of gadolinium is usually 1:200 therefore 0.1mL in 20 mL syringe 1. There are reported chondrotoxic effects of local anaesthetics, and intra-articular lidocaine should be avoided. Other lower strength local anaesthetics are reported as having less of a chondrotoxic effect. i.e. ropivacaine 6. Some institutions will not use a local anaesthetic in their arthrogram injectate mixtures citing the above however its use has been shown to improve comfort and lessen movement artifact 7. Furthermore, a small amount included in the 20 mL arthrogram mixture can be useful diagnostically; if the patient has pain relief post-procedure, the injected joint is likely the pain generator. This combined with the imaging findings can help guide further treatment."
