Vascular calcification is a common phenomenon in various vascular diseases, where its presence heralds increased occurrence of adverse disease events, which invariably lead to increased morbidity and mortality in patients. Although the impact of calcification has become apparent, adequate and early detection of the most damaging form of early microcalcification is still in its infancy, preventing reliable identification of locations that would benefit from intervention. In this review, we will provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art noninvasive calcification imaging and its persisting limitations.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) related arthritis is the most prevalent extraintestinal manifestation (EIM) of IBD, ranging between 10 and 39%. Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is used to assess small bowel disease involvement in Crohn's disease (CD) and can detect signs of sacroiliitis in up to 23.5% of patients.

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) occur at a rate of 1-2% in primary arthroplasties and 4% in revisions, posing a significant healthcare challenge. PJI diagnosis is hindered by absence of a universally accepted diagnostic standard. The primary outcome was to develop a predictive model to identify patients at risk of developing unforeseen PJI subsequent to presumed aseptic revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA).
