Imaging features of the aging spine.

Among many degenerative abnormalities commonly found in spine imaging, not all are associated with the patient's symptoms. We aimed to assess features of the standard, asymptomatic aging process of the spine. In this narrative review, we emphasize studies that describe imaging features of the spine in asymptomatic populations of different age groups.

Value of planar lymphoscintigraphy (PL) versus SPECT/CT in evaluation of sentinel lymph node in trunk melanoma - one center, large series retrospective study.

Background: Localization and histopathological examination of sentinel lymph node is a standard of melanoma treatment. The first stage of identification of the SLN is the preoperative lymphoscintigraphy. The aim of this study was to assess and compare diagnostic value of planar lymphoscintigraphy and SPECT/CT in sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure performed in patients with cutaneous trunk melanoma.
