Ultrasound of musculoskeletal soft-tissue tumors superficial to the investing fascia.

Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in assessing musculoskeletal soft-tissue tumors superficial to the investing fascia.

Materials And Methods: Seven hundred fourteen superficial soft-tissue tumors evaluated with ultrasound by two musculoskeletal radiologists were retrospectively reviewed. In all ultrasound reports, the reporting radiologists provided one, two, or three diagnoses depending on their perceived level of diagnostic certainty.

High-resolution MR imaging of talar osteochondral lesions with new classification.

Purpose: Retrospective review of high-resolution MR imaging features of talar dome osteochondral lesions and development of new classification system based on these features.

Material And Methods: Over the past 7 years, 70 osteochondral lesions of the talar dome from 70 patients (49 males, 21 females, mean age 42 years, range 15-62 years) underwent high-resolution MR imaging with a microscopy coil at 1.5 T.
