Can MRI Replace CT in the Diagnosis and Staging of Lumbar Spondylolysis in Pediatric Patients? A Validation Study Using MR Bone Imaging.
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Magnetic resonance (MR) bone imaging may reduce radiation exposure compared with computed tomography (CT) in staging lumbar spondylolysis. This study aimed to validate the consistency between MR bone imaging and CT. Methods: We retrospectively investigated short tau inversion recovery (STIR), MR bone...
Key safety considerations for MRI examination of patients with an orthopaedic implant
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides superior soft tissue contrast, multiplanar capabilities, and avoids ionizing radiation, making it valuable for evaluating orthopedic conditions. Despite persistent concerns regarding MRI safety with orthopedic instrumentation, this imaging modality is particularly...
Adiposity-lipid-glycemic clusters as potential warning signals of bone mass reduction in Asia’s largest urban communities – based bone health assessment via ultrasound
Orthopedics Imaging 6 min.
Globally, an osteoporotic fragility fracture occurs every three seconds, underscoring the silent yet pervasive nature of bone loss [1]. In China, over one-third of individuals aged 50 and older are at risk of osteoporosis [2]—a figure expected to rise sharply due to rapid population aging. Although...
CT Hounsfield units in cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament-A comparison with other forms of degenerative cervical myelopathy using propensity score matching
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of nerve compression and can result in the manifestation of neurological symptoms [1, 2]. DCM includes ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), disc herniation, subluxation, spondylolishesis and degenerative cervical deformity....
