FDG PET/CT Scan Still Can Help in Evaluation of Prostate Cancer
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Although F-FDG PET/CT scan is not the preferred modality to evaluate prostate cancer patients due to generally low uptake of FDG in prostate cancer cells, it can still be helpful in some selected cases with diagnostic dilemma. Here we are presenting an unusual prostate cancer case, status post radical...
Detecting soft-tissue interposition in proximal tibial physeal injury based on fast field echo resembling a computed tomography using restricted echo-spacing (FRACTURE): a case report
Orthopedics Imaging 3 min.
Proximal tibial physeal injury is a rare injury, accounting for 0.4% to 2.7% of pediatric fractures and<1% of all physeal injuries [1]. This injury is typically seen in adolescents with an average age of 14 years, with a higher incidence in boys than in girls [1]. The diagnosis of proximal tibial...
Automated opportunistic screening for osteoporosis using deep learning-based automatic segmentation and radiomics on proximal femur images from low-dose abdominal CT
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease closely associated with population aging, characterized by decreased bone mass and deterioration of the bone microstructure, leading to increased bone fragility and a heightened risk of fractures [1, 2]. Recent studies predict that the number of major fragility...
Age-specific normative values of sacral development and fusion in children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study utilizing multiplanar reconstruction computed tomography imaging
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Knowledge of the normal CT appearance is important to differentiate the normal appearance from pathology [1]. Normal variants mimicking fractures exist in all regions of the pediatric spine due to not-yet-ossified vertebral apophyses [2]. To accurately differentiate lesions around the sacral spine in...
Associations between abdominal fat, psoas muscle fat, and lumbar spine bone density: insights from quantitative CT imaging
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by reduced bone mass and disrupted bone microstructure. It leads to increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures. Bone mineral density (BMD) is the main screening and diagnostic indicator for osteoporosis. The prevalence of osteoporosis...
