Article Synopsis
- * A study of 76 children undergoing MRI screening for leukemia diagnosis found that 9.2% had osteonecrotic lesions, primarily in the hips and knees, at the beginning of treatment.
- * Over a six-month period, the severity and number of osteonecrotic lesions in patients showed unpredictable changes, with some worsening and others improving, but no significant differences were found in patient characteristics between those with and without ON at diagnosis.
Osteonecrosis (ON) is a debilitating side effect of anti-leukemic treatment. Thus far, the role of leukemic infiltration (LI) of bone is unclear. The first 30 children aged ≥10 years, who were enrolled in the ongoing OPAL trial and had MRI studies at diagnosis and at 6 months, were analyzed.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 26 patients who required TIPS revision (group I) and 24 patients who did not require any further intervention (group II) within the first two years following TIPS implantation. The distance of the distal end of the stent to the hepatocaval junction was measured.
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of hyperattenuating adrenal glands on contrast-enhanced CT of polytraumatised patients.
Methods: Two hundred ninety-two patients (195 men and 97 women, mean age 45.3 ± 23.
