Article Synopsis
- There is no official data on musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology in Europe, prompting an international survey to assess training and practice among ESSR partner societies.
- Results reveal a lack of standardized training and accreditation for MSK radiology at the national level, suggesting the need for a unified approach.
- Recognizing MSK radiology as an official subspecialty could enhance its appeal to new professionals and support advancements in both clinical and academic radiology.
Diagnosis of peripheral bone and prosthetic joint infections: overview on the consensus documents by the EANM, EBJIS, and ESR (with ESCMID endorsement).

Article Synopsis
- Peripheral bone infection (PBI) and prosthetic joint infection (PJI) pose significant diagnostic challenges, prompting a collaborative initiative by several European medical societies to create consensus documents addressing these conditions.
- A comprehensive literature review led to the development of 18 statements for PBI and 25 for PJI, focusing on imaging challenges and best practices in diagnosis.
- White blood cell scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging stand out as the most effective imaging methods for diagnosing PBI and PJI, with the choice of modality depending on patient needs, local resources, and expert opinions due to a lack of direct comparative studies.

Aim And Methods: To address this need, we performed a multidisciplinary systematic review of relevant nuclear medicine, radiological, orthopaedic, infectious, and microbiological literature to define the diagnostic accuracy of each diagnostic technique and to address and provide evidence-based answers on uniform statements for each topic that was found to be important to develop a commonly agreed upon diagnostic flowchart.
Results And Conclusion: The approach used to prepare this set of multidisciplinary guidelines was to define statements of interest and follow the procedure indicated by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine (OCEBM).
