Given the inherent variability of diagnostic assessment of hip dysplasia, a computed tomography scan could be considered in patients with relevant hip symptoms and a center-edge angle between 20 degrees and 30 degrees . Osteoarthritis should be assessed by measuring the joint space width or by classifying the Tönnis grade as either 0-1 or 2-3.

Immediate satisfactory results were obtained in all cases. Postprocedure anticoagulant and antiplatelet treatment were given according to associated contraindicating lesions. During follow-up, in-stent restenosis occurred in one patient and was treated successfully with a second stenting procedure. No renal dysfunction or hypertension was observed after 28.6 months follow-up. Percutaneous angioplasty is a valuable alternative to surgical treatment in selected patients.

Given our data, we now suggest that, in every patient with a coiled intracranial aneurysm, the first follow-up, 3 months after coiling, should be an MRA study. Only when this MRA is inconclusive (e.g., because of coil artifacts), or in the case of suspicion of recanalization, should DSA be performed additionally.

Compared to healthy controls, lower values of pituitary-to-fat SIRs in thalassemic patients experiencing normal puberty, without marked decrease in volume, indicate that signal reduction may precede volume loss and could be expected first on MRI.

Therefore, interventionalists should be aware of how to reduce the radiation dose to their patients. Currently, no conclusive method for reducing radiation dose is available for interventional procedures; hence, it is necessary to combine various methods. In addition, in order to reduce the radiation injury risk in interventional procedures, evaluation of patient radiation dose is essential. Generally, the tradeoff for a decrease in radiation dose is a loss in image performance. Therefore, optimization of radiation dose and image perfor...

For the first time, the complex flow patterns in the PA following d-TGA were visualized. Morphologically, a slight asymmetry of the PA was found, with considerable impact on vascular hemodynamics, resulting in diastolic retrograde flow in the larger vessel and diastolic filling of the smaller PA. Additionally, increased flow to the supraaortic vessels was found due to aortic coarctation.

Due to the presence of T1- and T2-bright signal, noncontrast T1-weighted images (T1WI), T2-weighted images (T2WI), two-dimensional (2D) time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance venography (MRV), and postcontrast T1WI were ambiguous for patency. However, subtracting the pre- from the postcontrast MRV images confirmed closure compared to subtracted images at 6 months' age.

It cannot distinguish high-grade gliomas from lymphomas, and lymphomas from metastases. ADC values and ADC ratios in peritumoral edema cannot be used to differentiate edema with infiltration of tumor cells from vasogenic edema when measurements for high-grade gliomas, lymphomas, metastases, and meningiomas were compared.

OCT-conjugated PEG-coated USPIO is potentially suitable to be used as a magnetic resonance contrast agent for MR imaging in vivo and increases the sensitivity for the early detection of breast carcinoma.

Solitary erosions need supplemental evidence from other inflammatory signs. Inflammatory sclerosis may be distinguished from degenerative sclerosis, and can sometimes support early diagnosis. Joint space width, joint shape, bone mineral content, or enthesopathy have no place in sacroiliitis diagnosis on CT. The NY criteria are not ideal for use with CT. A practical classification of sacroiliitis on CT is proposed, with a grading of no disease, suspected disease, and definite disease.

This technique is reliable for clinical appraisal of the spine, if the subject's sway does not exceed 10 degrees . For greater sway, improvement persists, but a risk of lack of accuracy exists.

The low reported incidence of this complication may be due to a lack of awareness of and difficulty in detecting stent fracture. Fracture should be considered as a possible contributing factor in recurrent biliary obstruction after self-expanding metallic stent insertion.

Careful interpretation with recognition of FLA on CTHA images is important, as inadvertent embolization or chemotherapeutic infusion of the FLA may result in supraumbilical skin rash.
