Do MRI-detected erosions in the RA-risk phase of arthralgia reflect current or imminent radiographic erosions? A large longitudinal imaging study
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Radiographic erosions of hands and feet are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and treatment aims to prevent radiographic progression. In the at-risk phase of clinically suspect arthralgia (CSA), erosions on radiographs are rare but can be visible on MRI, which is a more sensitive imaging technique....
Diagnostic value and related factors of ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy in bone lesions suspicious for tumor
Orthopedics Imaging 7 min.
Bone lesions suspicious for tumor represent a heterogeneous group of disorders encompassing suspected primary bone tumors and bone metastases [1]. Their entire diagnosis and treatment process relies heavily on accurate pathological diagnosis. Although suspected primary bone tumors account for only 0.2%...
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]....
