Background: Tissue markers are inserted into the breast after percutaneous biopsy to mark the site of the lesion to facilitate potential re-localisation. Tissue markers are increasingly developed with improved sonographic visibility due to benefits conferred by ultrasound-guided localisation.
Objectives: We aim to study the sonographic visibility of the recently-introduced UltracorTM TwirlTM tissue marker and feasibility of its pre-operative localisation under ultrasound guidance.
Rationale And Objectives: Lack of uniformity in radiology resident education is partially attributable to variable access to subspecialty education. Web-based courses improve standardization, but with growing emphasis on competency based education, more evaluation of their effectiveness is needed. We created a responsive web-based breast imaging curriculum for radiology residents including self-assessment and a satisfaction survey.

Initial radiographic findings suggested a tripartite appearance of the medial hallux sesamoid, and the patient was treated as for sesamoiditis. However, persistent symptoms over a period of 12 months necessitated further imaging with magnetic resonance, which confirmed a fracture of the bipartite medial hallux sesamoid.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the epidemiology, diagnosis, prognostication, follow-up care and outcomes of antenatally diagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH), Singapore. The objective of this study was to identify trends in current practice, and evaluate and improve the management of CDH.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases of antenatally diagnosed CDH from 2006 to 2010.
