73 patients with intracapsular fracture of lateral condyle of thibia were explored by MRI and X-ray imaging. Computer tomography was prescribed for 56 patients. The most frequent fractures were--Schatzker II (n = 23; 31,5%) and II (n = 18; 24,7%) types of fractures. A comparative expert analysis of the results of radiographic, MRI and CT was performed in 56 patients. CT was "the golden standart". X-ray sensitivity in identifying the type of fracture was 80,3%, specificity--66,7%, accuracy--79,6%. In identifying the displacement of bone fragments X-ray sensitivity was 70,4%, specificity--81,2%, accuracy--73,3%. Sensitivity of radiography in detecting depth of impressions was 72,3%, specificity--80%, accuracy--74,1%. CT and MRI have the same results.

Background: Sarcoidosis, a granulomatous inflammatory disease, exhibits diverse clinical manifestations, often affecting multiple organs. Diagnostic challenges arise due to its similarities with tuberculosis, particularly in high-burden areas. Differentiating between the two relies on clinical judgment, laboratory tests, imaging, and invasive procedures.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by elevated FGF23 and chronic hypophosphatemia, leading to impaired skeletal mineralization and enthesopathies that are associated with pain, stiffness, and diminished quality of life. The natural history of enthesopathies in XLH remains poorly defined, partly due to absence of a sensitive quantitative tool for assessment and monitoring. This study investigates the utility of 18F-NaF PET/CT scans in characterizing enthesopathies in XLH subjects.

Background: The clinical manifestations and course of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) exhibits considerable heterogeneity. In this study, we aimed to explore radiographic progression over a defined period, employing the Warrick score as a semi-quantitative measure in early RA-ILD, and to assess the associated risk factors for progression.
Methods: RA-ILD patients underwent consecutive Warrick scoring based on initial high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) at diagnosis and the first follow-up.

Objectives: we evaluated the hypothesis that level of ctHPVDNA on the first postoperative day (POD-1); and at 15 days (POD-15) could be associated with the need for adjuvant therapy and the presence of recurrence.
Materials And Methods: this is a prospective observational study on biomarkers, focusing on the longitudinal monitoring of ctHPVDNA in a cohort of HPV-OPSCC patients undergoing TORS. Blood samples were collected according to the following schema: (1) pretreatment; (2) on first postoperative day (POD 1); and (3) at 15 days (POD 15).

Objectives: To conduct a meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of non-contrast magnetic resonance pulmonary angiography (NC-MRPA) and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy for the detection of acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
Materials And Methods: Systematic searches of electronic databases were conducted from 2000 to 2024. Primary outcomes were per-patient sensitivity and specificity of NC-MRPA and V/Q scintigraphy.
