This review provides a detailed description of the imaging features of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and radiculopathy, with a focus on MRI. Where relevant, we will outline grading systems of vertebral central canal and foraminal stenosis. Whilst post-operative appearances of the cervical spine are outside the scope of this paper, we will touch o...

To assess the effect of body muscle and fat metrics on the development of radiologic incisional hernia (IH) following robotic nephrectomy. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent robotic nephrectomy for kidney tumors between 2011 and 2017. All pre- and postoperative CTs were re-reviewed by experienced radiologists for dete...

Extra-capsular floating fat may present in a variety of non-articular locations at the extremity. Manifestation of floating fat or fat-fluid level(s) outside of a joint is a marker of trauma or infection. Recognizing radiologic sign(s) of extra-capsular floating fat can aid radiologists to provide an informed differential diagnosis and facilitate c...

To validate the subjective image quality and lesion detectability of deep learning-accelerated Dixon (DL-Dixon) imaging of the cervical spine compared with routine Dixon imaging. A total of 50 patients underwent sagittal routine Dixon and DL-Dixon imaging of the cervical spine. Acquisition parameters were compared and non-uniformity (NU) values wer...

To determine interobserver agreement and reliability of different radiological parameters in the assessment of fracture-dislocation of the 4th and 5th carpometacarpal joints (FD CMC 4-5) and associated hamate fracture on radiographs. A retrospective, consecutive case series of 53 patients diagnosed with FD CMC 4-5. Emergency room diagnostic radiolo...

This study investigated the distribution and characteristics of various bone and joint lesions on 18F-FAPI PET/CT in lung cancer patients. Seventy-four lung cancer patients who underwent 18F-FAPI PET/CT were reviewed. Bone and joint lesions with elevated 18F-FAPI uptake were recorded and analyzed. The distribution and maximum uptake value (SUVmax) ...

The thin and friable septations composing aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) may be challenging to target for percutaneous biopsy. The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate a novel method of ABC biopsy using endomyocardial biopsy forceps as an attempt to capture larger fragments of tissue for diagnosis. This was a retrospective study performe...
