Geographic non-enhancing zones in diabetic foot magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were first described in 2002. No previous report has described the impact and clinical significance of geographic non-enhancing tissue seen in the evaluation of diabetic foot MRI. To evaluate the prevalence of devascularization areas on contrast-enhanced MRI in diabetic patients suspected of having foot osteomyelitis, the impact on the performance of the MRI assessment, and the possible pitfalls.

Methods: This retrospective single-center study evaluated consecutive patients with solid renal masses who underwent mpMRI followed by percutaneous biopsy and/or surgical excision between January 2010 and December 2020. Predominantly (> 75%) cystic masses, masses with macroscopic fat and infiltrative masses were excluded.
Thyroid nodules (TNs) are common incidental findings on imaging and TN reporting practices are variable among radiologists, leading to unnecessary or inadequate investigations. We aimed to document current literature adherence for TN reporting practices on thoracic CTs and assess the variability in TN reporting across radiology subspecialties. This is a 2-parts retrospective study.

Up to 34% of diabetic patients will develop an ulcer potentially leading to osteomyelitis. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnostic process.
