The lumbar spine forms the lowermost part of the mobile spinal column. Due to anatomical properties, the lumbar spine is highly flexible in the sagittal directions, thus, rendering it susceptible to both flexion and extension forces with the thoracolumbar junction being the most vulnerable part of it. To date, the modern thoracolumbar spine fractur...

The assessment of traumatic lesions to the chest and thoracic spine can pose a challenge for the emergency radiologist. Collaboration with the treating clinicians and knowledge of the patients' history and the trauma mechanism are essential. In case of minor trauma, digital radiography may be sufficient for diagnosis. For the diagnostic work-up of ...

Stress fractures are very common in clinical practice. They can be classified into fatigue fractures that affect healthy bone and insufficiency fractures in which the bone is already damaged or weakened. Conventional x‑ray images are the standard method in case of a suspected stress fracture. If x‑rays are negative, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...

A confident diagnosis and classification of proximal femoral and tibia fractures are crucial to determine further therapeutic procedures. In this article the current standards regarding diagnostic imaging of proximal femoral and tibia fractures are presented and the different classification systems are discussed. Plain radiography in two planes rem...

Accurate imaging is crucial for lesion detection in abdominal organs, for the noninvasive characterization of focal and diffuse abnormalities, and for surgical planning. To accomplish these tasks, several imaging modalities such as multidetector computer tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed t...
