Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence of asymptomatic signal changes in elbow tendons to prevent unnecessary treatments for tendinopathy based solely on imaging results.
- The research analyzed 205 MRIs of elbows and assessed tendon conditions using a scoring system, revealing minor signal changes in some tendons but no significant tears.
- Findings suggest that common flexor tendon changes are present in about 8% of cases, emphasizing the need for clinical correlation to avoid overtreating asymptomatic conditions.
Article Synopsis
- Twiddler’s syndrome is a rare but serious issue that can occur after a neurostimulator or pacemaker is implanted.
- It happens when the device's generator twists in its pocket under the skin, leading to problems with the electrodes.
- The complications can typically be identified through an x-ray, which will show the dislodgement or disruption of the electrodes.
Myositis ossificans is a do not touch lesion of which the radiological findings can be misleading in the early stages due to possible features mimicking a malignant process.

Bouveret syndrome can be diagnosed on plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging by demonstrating Rigler's triad which includes a dilated stomach, pneumobilia, and ectopic gallstone.

- * This low pressure can cause the epidural venous plexus (a network of veins) to become engorged or swollen.
- * The swelling may result in compression of the nerve roots (radiculopathy) or the spinal cord (myelopathy), which could potentially be reversible if addressed timely.
Cemento-ossifying fibromas are rare, benign tumours that are mostly found in the tooth-bearing areas of the mandible or maxilla and can be seen on cone-beam computed tomography.

- When conducting an ultrasound on a cephalhematoma, a specific imaging artifact can appear.
- This artifact creates a "mirror-image" effect that may resemble an epidural hematoma.
- It's important for medical professionals to recognize this artifact to avoid misdiagnosis.
Unilateral choreiform movements combined with contralateral hyperdense lentiform and/or caudate nucleus on computed tomography is suggestive for non-ketotic hyperglycemia, warranting further metabolic workup.
