Purpose: To elaborate an optimized scheme for the Dejour classification of trochlear dysplasia based on axial and sagittal MR images and to evaluate its intra- and inter-reader reliability.
Material And Methods: Over a period of 20 months patients with a knee MRI and the diagnosis of trochlear dysplasia were retrospectively included. Exclusion criteria were incomplete examination, qualitatively non-diagnostic examination, post trochlear surgery, missing informed consent for research purposes.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to analyze MRI findings in children and adolescents (ages 8-17) experiencing hip pain to determine if additional contrast for imaging is needed.
- Out of 70 patients, 42.9% showed no identifiable cause for pain, while extraarticular issues, like apophysitis, and intraarticular findings, particularly labral tears, accounted for the rest.
- The study concluded that routine MRI without intraarticular contrast is sufficient, as most cases revealed extraarticular reasons or no detectable issues.
Unlabelled: The purpose of this study is to audit the efficacy and safety of intranasal dexmedetomidine sedation for non-invasive procedural sedation in children provided by nurses of the procedural sedation (PROSA) team in the University Hospitals Leuven. Efficacy (successful sedation as sole sedative) and safety (cardiorespiratory monitoring, saturation) were assessed. In this audit, prospectively recorded data were extracted from the medical files in 772 patients between 4 weeks to 18 years old, who underwent sedation with intranasal dexmedetomidine (2-4 µg/kg) by the nurse-driven PROSA team, following pre-screening on risk factors.

However, database on the mineralisation of diseased joints and potential relations with glenoid angles is limited.
Methods: Shoulder specimens from ten female and nine male body donors with an average age of 81.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of 1) CT-derived bone lesion quality (classification of vertebral bone metastases [BM]) and 2) computed CT-measured volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) for evaluating the strength and stiffness of cadaver vertebrae from donors with metastatic spinal disease.
Methods: Forty-five thoracic and lumbar vertebrae were obtained from cadaver spines of 11 donors with breast, esophageal, kidney, lung, or prostate cancer. Each vertebra was imaged using microCT (21.
