Stress radiography for quantifying posterior
cruciate ligament deficiency
- Arthroscopy
|
|
Conclusions: Stress radiographs were shown to be superior to
arthrometric evaluation in quantifying posterior tibial
translation. The techniques performed with the knee at 90°
of knee flexion allowed for greater posterior tibial
displacement and, consequently, an easier quantification of
the degree of ligament insufficiency. Stress radiographs
performed through hamstring contraction gave the same
results as those performed with Telos at 90° of knee
flexion... |

Tacking on
a dynamic gadolinium-enhanced sequence to indeterminate MRIs
may eliminate the need for an additional CT study in
patients with osteoid osteoma, according to researchers at
the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ... |

Case Report: The jet ski open-book pelvic fracture:
diagnosis with multidetector CT
- Emergency Radiology |
|
|
A
10-year-old girl sustained a traumatic open-book pelvic
fracture from a straddle injury in a jet ski accident. Plain
films and computed tomography both demonstrated diastasis of
the symphysis pubis and bilateral widening of the sacroiliac
joints... |

Stress reaction in the carpal bones caused by
breakdancing
- Emergency Radiology |
|
|
Abstract
Stress reactions in the bones of the lower extremities are a
common finding on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The
primary finding in the bone marrow is nonspecific edema
without any visible fracture line that may even mimic tumor
or infection. Continuing stress may eventually lead to a
stress fracture. We present the case of a stress reaction
related to breakdancing in a less typical localization, in
the triquetral bone in the wrist... |

Bone mineral density and fractures in Turner
syndrome -
American Journal of Medicine |
|
|
Conclusion:
The prevalence of osteoporosis and bone fractures is not
increased significantly in women with Turner syndrome who
are treated with standard estrogen therapy. Women less than
150 cm in height are likely to be misdiagnosed with
osteoporosis when areal bone density is measured, unless
adjustments for body size are made...

99mTc-MIBI Imaging as a Predictor of Therapy
Response in Osteosarcoma Compared with Multidrug
Resistance-Associated Protein and P-Glycoprotein Expression
-
The Journal of Nuclear Medicine |
|
|
Conclusion:
Our results suggest that the WR% of 99mTc-MIBI is correlated
with MRP expression. Both the WR% of 99mTc-MIBI and MRP
expression are correlated with therapy response. 99mTc-MIBI
can be used as a general probe for functional imaging of
both Pgp and MRP; however, it is not capable of
differentiating the functional status of either MDR-related
glycoprotein... |
