The Impact of Iodinated Contrast Media Used in Epidural Steroid Injections on Thyroid Function Tests.

Objective: The use of iodinated contrast media (ICM) inevitably increases in conjunction with the growing number of epidural steroid injection (ESI) administrations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between thyroid functions and ICM exposure through ESI procedures.

Design: This is a prospective observational study.

An unusual imaging finding mimicking double contour sign following ultrasound-guided intra-articular knee injection of steroid: A case report.

Examination of monosodium urate crystals in the synovial fluid remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of gout. On ultra-sound (US) examination, the double contour sign (DCS) is one of the most common imaging findings of gout. In this article, we present, for the first time, a unique imaging finding mimicking DCS after US-guided intra-articular knee injection of steroid and discuss it in light of the literature data.
