Objectives: To compare the value of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) with conventional radiography in the detection of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to correlate the sonographic findings with disease activity, and functional disability scores.

Methods: Patients >18 years of age with RA ≤2 years who satisfied the 2010 EULAR/ACR classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis and disease activity score 28 (DAS28) >2.6, were enrolled.

Introduction: A minority of medical imaging professionals within Australian metropolitan healthcare services are engaging in research activity as part of an emerging research culture. This study aimed to explore the characteristics and experience of medical imaging professionals who engage in research to identify contextual and individual factors that empower them to participate in research.

Methods: A mixed methods observational study consisting of quantitative (survey) and qualitative (semi-structured interview) components using an interpretative description approach was completed with research active medical imaging professionals (radiographers, nuclear medicine technologists and sonographers).

Introduction: This study evaluates the necessity of routine X-ray follow-ups in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), identified through Graf hip ultrasound, a standard component of screening in Germany. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of radiological deterioration in hips that were initially diagnosed and treated according to established guidelines within a university-based risk-enriched cohort and to identify associated risk factors.

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with developmental DDH from 2009 to 2018 with sonographically healthy hips (alpha > 64°) post conservative therapy and at least one follow-up X-ray by the age of two were analysed.

Article Synopsis
  • Foot and ankle injuries commonly show up in Emergency Departments, especially in rural areas where patients may need to be transferred for imaging diagnostics like X-rays.
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ottawa Foot and Ankle Rules (OFAR) combined with Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to assess foot and ankle pain in rural settings.
  • Conducted from June to August 2022, the study revealed that novice POCUS users could accurately interpret ultrasound results, achieving high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (94%) when identifying fractures compared to subsequent radiographic evaluations.

Quality Improvement Report: The Sliding Sign Initiative-Facilitating Earlier Detection of Deep Endometriosis in an Academic US Department.

Radiographics

December 2024

From the Division of Abdominal Radiology, Vancouver General Hospital, 899 W. 12th Ave, Vancouver, BC, Canada (E.H.T.P.); Departments of Radiology (E.H.T.P.) and Obstetrics and Gynaecology (C.E.L., A.L.), University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada; British Columbia Women's Hospital Center for Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis, Vancouver, BC, Canada (C.E.L.); and Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Menoufia, Egypt (E.A.K.).

A delayed diagnosis of endometriosis can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. To facilitate an earlier diagnosis, we implemented a modified pelvic US protocol that included use of the dynamic sliding sign (SS) maneuver to screen at-risk populations. The aim of this initiative was to improve both SS maneuver performance and SS reporting consistency to 80% and determine the number of new endometriosis cases identified after US.
