On AP/LAT x-ray film, the involved knees were negative for fracture. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed significant posttraumatic subcortical signal abnormality in 8 of 21 knees studied.

3T MRI was performed with the same sequence protocol as in the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). In a primary reading subchondral bone marrow edema-like lesions were assessed according to the WORMS ...

This case report presents a rare case of subsequent ipsilateral and contralateral subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee (SIFK) in the trochlea of the femur within months, manifested in a ...

Treating only the lumbar fractures can lead to worsening of the thoracic fractures or unresolved postoperative symptoms. This study aims to investigate the need to perform thoracic MRI before ...

Additionally, many patients' perception of fracture information and clinician's overworked schedule may also add extra complications to therapeutic decision-making and further delay surgical repair.

including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), have been explored to enhance the detection of these fractures. One study emphasized the importance of MRI as the gold ...

The tibia is the major bone of the lower leg, commonly referred to as the shin bone. Tibia fractures can occur from many types of injuries and come in different shapes and sizes. Each fracture must be ...

Broken bones are common injuries, and many children will experience at least one fracture (break) in their growing years. How they happen—and how we treat them—can be very different in children than ...

Two new PET radiotracers have outperformed the only current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved radiotracer for detecting tau tangles in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. In a ...

What is an MRI scan? MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. The MRI scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create images (pictures) of tissues, organs and other structures inside ...

Bone fracture segmentation and reconstruction from CT imaging is a critical area in medical imaging and orthopedic surgery. Accurate segmentation of fractured bones is essential for effective ...
