Can routine MRI spine T1 sequences be used for prediction of decreased bone density?

Background: Bone marrow signal is ideally evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to its high tissue contrast. While advanced MRI quantitative methods can be used for estimating bone density, there are no readily available parameters on routine clinical MRI sequences of the lumbar spine.

Purpose: To evaluate whether T1 signal intensity (SI) ratio of lumbar vertebral body (VB)/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may predict decreased bone density.

CT chest analysis of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia: An Indian perspective.

Context: Since its outbreak, the COVID-19 pneumonia pandemic is rapidly spreading across India; although computed tomography of chest (CT chest) is not recommended as a screening tool, there is a rapid surge in the CT chest performed in suspected cases. We should be aware of the imaging features among the Indian population.

Aim: To analyze the CT chest features in Indian COVID-19 patients.

Intrapancreatic accessory spleen: An imaging enigma.

The pancreatic tail is an uncommon location for the accessory spleen. Although it is a benign entity, it can mimic and get misdiagnosed as a pancreatic tumor which can lead to unnecessary biopsy and surgery. Here, we present a case who was detected to have a tail of pancreas mass.
