Prospective study assessing the validity of accelerated 2D Fast Spin Echo (2D FSE) based high-resolution knee MRI and T2 mapping using deep learning reconstruction
Orthopedics Imaging 6 min.
Knee fast spin echo based magnetic resonance imaging (FSE-MRI) is widely used to evaluate the structural injuries in meniscus, ligament and cartilage due to good tissue contrast and high spatial resolution [1, 2]. A routine knee FSE-based imaging protocol takes approximately 7–10 min on 3.0T MR...
Diagnostic value of IVIM and DCE-MRI parameters for differentiating benign from malignant bone tumors and their correlations with Ki-67 expression
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Bone tumors are complex histological types with aggressive malignancies and high metastatic rates, making accurate differentiation between benign and malignant lesions crucial for treatment decisions [1]. The current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend imaging modalities,...
Transformer-based and CNN-based models for clinically effective 2D and 3D pelvic bone segmentation in CT imaging
Orthopedics Imaging 9 min.
Advancements in deep learning (DL) have revolutionized medical image analysis, particularly in automating and enhancing the precision of diagnostic tasks [1]. Among these, the segmentation of pelvic and hip structures stands out as both critically important and technically challenging [2, 3–4]....
Discrepancy between X-ray and CT assessment in the Mirels score for long bone metastasis
Orthopedics Imaging 3 min.
The Mirels score is a prediction system proposed by Mirels in 1989 to evaluate the risk of pathological fracture of long bone metastasis within six months and comprises four factors: pain, (anatomical) site, size, and lesion (radiographic appearance). Each factor is rated from one to three points, and...
Multiple brown tumors caused by parathyroid adenoma identified by 18F-FDG PET/CT in a patient with thalassemia: a case report
Orthopedics Imaging 3 min.
The parathyroid tumor secretes excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone, leading to hypercalcemia and associated complications such as osteoporosis, bone fractures, and brown tumors [1]. Brown tumors are rare skeletal lesions characterized by their distinctive brown color, which results from increased...
