Abstract

The purpose of this pictorial review is to present an overview of the radioclinical features of osteomyelitis. The presentation of the disease may vary depending on the clinical stage (acute, subacute and chronic), the pathogenesis of the infection and the age of the patient. Thorough knowledge of the basic pathophysiological mechanisms is a prerequisite to understanding the variable imaging appearance of osteomyelitis. Special subtypes of osteomyelitis including CRMO and SAPHO will be discussed very shortly.

Imaging in Osteoarthritis

F. W. Roemer, A. Guermazi, S. Demehri, W. Wirth, R. Kijowski

Summary: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis with significant impact on individual and public health. The field of joint imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has rapidly evolved thanks to technological advancements in clinical research. This narrative review provides an overview of various aspects of OA imaging, including measurement of joint space width, assessment of cartilage morphology, quantification of OA through three-dimensional morphologic assessment, and the role of complementary imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and metabolic imaging.

Approach to imaging modalities in the setting of suspected infection

Meghan Jardon, Erin F. Alaia

Summary: Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal infection. Different imaging modalities have their own advantages and limitations. Radiography provides an overview of bones, ultrasound is useful for real-time guidance, CT is important in emergency situations, and MRI is the modality of choice for clear diagnosis of infection.

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related acute lobar intra-cerebral hemorrhage: diagnostic value of plain CT

Jean-Claude Baron, Gregoire Boulouis, Joseph Benzakoun, Corentin Schwall, Catherine Oppenheim, Guillaume Turc, Pascale Varlet

Summary: Diagnosis of probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) after lobar intra-cerebral hemorrhage (l-ICH) currently relies on MRI, with potential value of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and finger-like projections (FLP) on acute CT. In a cohort of patients who survived the initial event, SAH showed perfect sensitivity and better performance than FLP in diagnosing CAA, suggesting the importance of SAH as an additional marker. Further studies in larger samples are needed for validation.

Musculoskeletal Imaging for Dermatologists: Techniques in the Diagnosis and Management of Psoriatic Arthritis

Alice B. Gottlieb, Catherine Bakewell, Joseph F. Merola

Summary: Early detection and intervention are crucial for patients with psoriatic arthritis, and dermatologists are uniquely positioned to identify symptoms early in the disease process, preventing permanent damage. Multiple musculoskeletal imaging techniques, such as conventional radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging, are essential in the diagnosis and management of psoriatic arthritis.

Imaging of knee osteoarthritis: a review of multimodal diagnostic approach

Claudia Lucia Piccolo, Carlo Augusto Mallio, Federica Vaccarino, Rosario Francesco Grasso, Bruno Beomonte Zobel

Summary: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic condition that significantly affects the quality of life in the elderly population. Various imaging modalities, including radiography, ultrasound, MRI, CT, and PET-MRI, are available for the diagnosis and evaluation of KOA. Radiography is recommended as the first-line imaging modality due to its availability and clear visualization of bony components, while ultrasound provides information on cartilage thickness and other parameters. MRI is optimal for assessing soft tissue structures, while CT has limited utility. PET-MRI combines morphological and biochemical information but requires further research. Artificial intelligence tools, such as machine learning models, offer potential for improving diagnosis, grading, and predicting the need for surgery in KOA.

Advances in osteoarthritis imaging

Majid Chalian, Frank W. Roemer, Ali Guermazi

Summary: This review provides an overview of imaging techniques for osteoarthritis assessment, including X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, and CT. Each modality has its pros and cons, with MRI offering a more comprehensive evaluation of structural changes and ultrasound being useful for assessing synovitis. Recent advancements in CT technology have also expanded its application in research.

Development of an US, MRI, and CT imaging compatible realistic mouse phantom for thermal ablation and focused ultrasound evaluation

Anastasia Antoniou, Anastasia Nikolaou, Andreas Georgiou, Nikolas Evripidou, Christakis Damianou

Summary: Tissue mimicking phantoms (TMPs) are crucial in biomedical research as cost-effective tools for quality assurance and training, reducing animal use. This study develops and evaluates an anatomically accurate mouse phantom for image-guided thermal ablation and Focused Ultrasound (FUS) applications. The phantom, compatible with US, CT, and MRI, accurately reproduces the size and surface of a live mouse using skeletal and soft tissue mimics. It demonstrates tissue-equivalency in X-ray attenuation and excellent visibility in MRI and CT scans. The phantom also replicates realistic behavior during trans-skull sonication, making it a powerful tool for studying and optimizing relevant equipment and protocols, including FUS-mediated blood brain barrier disruption.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the evidence for image-guided musculoskeletal interventional procedures around the foot and ankle and derive a set of clinical indications through expert consensus. The results suggest that image-guided interventions should not be considered a first-line approach for treating Achilles tendinopathy, while using ultrasonography guidance significantly improves the efficacy of interventions for plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma.
