Only one-third of patients received osteoporosis medication after vertebral augmentation. The incidence of new vertebral fractures fell from 0.519 to 0.076 per person-year after starting medical management (incidence rate ratio 6.79, 95% CI 3.37-15.51), a 6-fold decreased risk.
Percutaneous MWA of T1 RCC showed 76% 10-year overall survival, 85% cancer-specific survival, and 83% local progression-free survival, with stable renal function and low complications.
Integrated model combining emphysema, Pi10, airway branch count, and clinical data detected undiagnosed COPD with AUC 0.83 (95% CI 0.80-0.86) in 5,014 lung screening participants, up from 0.69 for emphysema alone, reducing confirmatory spirometry referrals from 41% to 34%.
FAPI PET/CT showed 93.0% sensitivity vs 76.5% for FDG (p=0.002) in 176 patients with suspected HPB cancers. Nodal accuracy was 86.8% vs 71.1%. Dual-tracer approach did not improve accuracy. Prospective validation needed.

The "fallen fragment sign" on imaging—a bone fragment dependent in a cystic lesion—is a pathognomonic finding for a solitary (unicameral) bone cyst, helping distinguish it from other lucent bone lesions.
Eurorad teaching case illustrates the characteristic CT and MRI findings of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, a benign multilocular cystic mass, aiding accurate diagnosis and differentiation from other adnexal lesions.
The classic metaphyseal corner fracture (bucket-handle) is highly specific for non-accidental trauma (NAT) in infants; on a frontal radiograph, it appears as a curvilinear osseous density paralleling the physis, while on a lateral view it appears as a triangular corner fragment—…
LearningRadiology post reviews imaging findings in diverticulosis and diverticulitis, helping radiologists distinguish uncomplicated disease from complications like abscess or perforation. Aimed at trainees and practicing radiologists.
MRI is essential for detecting potentially surgical epileptogenic lesions. Dedicated epilepsy protocols with 3D T1, high-resolution T2/FLAIR, and susceptibility-weighted sequences increase sensitivity. Early imaging can identify hippocampal sclerosis, focal cortical dysplasia, a…
