Evaluation of glenoid labral tears: comparison between dual-energy CT arthrography and MR arthrography of the shoulder.

Objective: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography arthrography (DE-CTA) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) of the shoulder in depicting glenoid labral tears.

Methods: This prospective institutional review board-approved study included 47 consecutive patients (28 males, 19 females; mean age of 34.2 years) studied between January 2017 and October 2018.

Identification of bone marrow edema of the ankle: diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy CT in comparison with MRI.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to identify bone marrow edema (BME) of the ankle.

Methods: This prospective institutional review board approved study included 40 consecutive patients (29 males and 11 females; mean age of 32.3 years) studied with DECT (80 kV and tin filter 150 kV) and MRI within 10 days.

Pulmonary nodules in African migrants caused by chronic schistosomiasis.

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that can cause mainly hepatic and genitourinary damage, depending on the species. Involvement of the lungs has been commonly described in acute infection (Katayama syndrome) and chronic infection (pulmonary hypertension). Although rarely reported in the scientific literature, cases of lung nodules due to chronic schistosome infection are also possible and are probably more frequent than commonly thought.
