- Imaging features of gluteal in vitro fertilization injection granulomas, with delayed clinical presentation simulating soft tissue sarcoma
CONCLUSIONS: In the setting of prior IVF therapy, imaging features of an irregularly marginated, deep subcutaneous gluteal lesion with inflammatory […]
- Analysis of dedicated sacroiliac views to improve reliability of conventional pelvic radiographs
CONCLUSION: There was general agreement between the Ferguson and AP pelvis X-ray ICC and kappa scores. Either modality can be employed to evaluate […]
- Prevalence of Sacroiliitis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Using a Standardized Computed Tomography Scoring System
CONCLUSION: There is a 3-fold higher prevalence of sacroiliitis in IBD compared with controls. Despite a growing awareness of this increased […]
- Development of a Screening Tool for the Identification of Sacroiliitis in Computed Tomography Scans of the Abdomen
CONCLUSION: The presence of ankylosis or a total erosion score of ≥ 3 on CT is sufficient for identifying patients at high risk of sacroiliitis and […]
- Prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density in psoriatic arthritis: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on BMD and its impact in PsA. High likelihood of bias and inconsistent results […]
- Clinical Efficacy of Celecoxib Compared to Acetaminophen in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: There was superior efficacy of celecoxib compared with acetaminophen in chronic nonspecific low back pain. Inflammatory lesions of […]
- Trunnionosis: the latest culprit in adverse reactions to metal debris following hip arthroplasty
The imaging findings of periprosthetic soft tissue lesions (pseudotumours) have been typically defined in the context of newer second-generation […]
- Is the MAdrid Sonographic Enthesitis Index useful for differentiating psoriatic arthritis from psoriasis alone and healthy controls?
CONCLUSION: The severity of US entheseal abnormalities is highest in patients with PsA followed by PsC and is lowest in healthy controls. MASEI can […]
- Development and validation of the spondyloarthritis radiography module for calibration of readers using the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score
CONCLUSION: Calibration according to the SPAR module led to improved reliability in the scoring of the mSASSS, even for expert readers.
- Imaging of spondyloarthropathies
Spondyloarthropathies (SpA) are a group of disorders that primarily affect the synovial joints of the axial and appendicular skeleton of variable […]
- A pilot study of computed tomography-detected asymptomatic pulmonary filling defects after hip and knee arthroplasties
We asked what the incidence of asymptomatic filling defects is on routine multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in primary hip (total hip […]
- Hip and groin pain in the professional athlete
Hip and groin pain is a common condition in professional athletes and may result from an acute injury or from chronic, repetitive trauma. It is […]
- Massive localised lymphoedema: clinical presentation and MR imaging characteristics
Three morbidly obese women were referred to us with suspected soft-tissue sarcomas. All lesions arose from the medial subcutaneous tissues of the […]
- Skiing and snowboarding injuries: a review with a focus on mechanism of injury
Skiing and snowboarding are ever increasing in popularity, with participation across a wide patient demographic. This article focuses on common […]
- Low-dose infliximab (3 mg/kg) significantly reduces spinal inflammation on magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a randomized placebo-controlled study
CONCLUSION: Treatment with low-dose IFX leads to a large treatment effect on spinal inflammation as measured by MRI. Scoring for inflammation of only […]
