Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) represent the most diverse vertebrate lineage that show extensive variations in physiology, ways of life, and adaptations to marine and freshwater environments, and several species have been established as biological research models. The in vitro culture of cells is fundamental for several fields of biological research, being an alternative for studies that use animals. Hundreds of fish cell lines have been established using specific methods for each cell type and species.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of MRI compared to CT scans for pre-surgical imaging of neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) in the hip, which is a common issue following spinal cord injuries.
  • It involved 24 patients who had both CT angiography and MRI, with a focus on evaluating the characteristics of NHO and their proximity to important anatomical structures.
  • The results showed strong agreement between MRI and CT for various assessments, particularly in identifying relationships with major vessels and nerves, with MRI proving superior for visualizing certain nerves.
