A case of IgG4-related disease manifesting as a spinal epidural mass.

IgG4-related disease is an immune-mediated fibroinflammatory condition. Isolated manifestation in the spine as hypertrophic pachymeningitis is very rare and the mass-like lesion on MRI often mimic tumour or infection. Patients would present with symptoms that result from mass effect or neurovascular compression.

Ultrasound diagnosis of fracture-separation of the distal humeral chondro-epiphysis: a rare but important condition that a radiologist must not miss.

Fracture-separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is a rare condition known to be associated with non-accidental injury. Ultrasound is useful in diagnosis of this important disease entity with the humeral epiphysis not yet ossified.

Sonographic diagnosis of Fournier's gangrene: a rare surgical emergency.

Early diagnosis of life-threatening Fournier's gangrene, a rare surgical emergency, is essential. Detection of gas within the swollen scrotal skin by ultrasonography (US) is of great help in patients with equivocal physical examination findings.

Exploring the intention to use a clinical imaging portal for enhancing healthcare education.

Clinical imaging plays an integral role in disease diagnosis and patient care. It is good for healthcare professionals such as nurses to acquire skills and knowledge in radiological examination requests and image interpretation, since this kind of role extension provides more personalized patient care and streamlines the service. This study described the development of a clinical imaging portal to facilitate independent learning in image interpretation and explored factors affecting intentions to use the portal based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), with the computer self-efficacy construct as an external variable.
