Impact of Multiple Factors on the Incidence of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip: Risk Assessment Tool.

Background and Objectives: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions in children. If not treated, it leads to disability, gait abnormalities, limb shortening, and chronic pain. Our study aims to determine the impact of multiple risk factors on the incidence of DDH and to develop an interactive risk assessment tool.

The potential impact of mammographic breast arterial calcification on physician practices in a primary care setting.

This study sought to determine breast arterial calcification (BAC) prevalence in a primary care setting and its potential use in guiding further cardiovascular workup. A radiologist reviewed 282 consecutive mammograms. Characteristics of BAC-positive and negative women were compared.

Case Report: Gallbladder Varices in a Patient with Portal Vein Thrombosis Secondary to Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Gallbladder varices are a rare form of collateralization that develop in patients with portal hypertension. We present here a case of gallbladder varices accurately diagnosed by contrast enhanced CT imaging of the abdomen and confirmed by Color Doppler Sonography. A 76-year-old patient with hepatocellular carcinoma developed portal vein thrombosis due to tumor extension during the course of treatment and was incidentally discovered to have gallbladder varices.

Gadoxetic acid-enhanced T1-weighted MR cholangiography in primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Purpose: To investigate the value of gadoxetic acid-enhanced three-dimensional T1-weighted MR cholangiography (T1w-MRC) in comparison to three-dimensional T2-weighted MR cholangiopancreaticography (T2w-MRCP) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-four MR exams in 29 patients (46.0 ± 16.
