Image-guided core needle biopsy of musculoskeletal lesions can be challenging due to a variety of technical, patient-related, and lesion-related factors. Poor preprocedural planning can result in low diagnostic yield, misdiagnosis, delay in care, and the need for additional procedures. Furthermore, suboptimal procedural technique may place the patient at an increased risk of iatrogenic complications. Optimizing pre-procedural planning by considering potential complications is important in ensuring a safe and successful procedure. We provide a review of strategies for troubleshooting challenging image-guided musculoskeletal tumor biopsies.

Integrating large language models (LLMs) into health care holds substantial potential to enhance clinical workflows and care delivery. However, LLMs also pose serious risks if integration is not thoughtfully executed, with complex challenges spanning accuracy, accessibility, privacy, and regulation. Proprietary commercial LLMs (eg, GPT-4 [OpenAI], Claude 3 Sonnet and Claude 3 Opus [Anthropic], Gemini [Google]) have received much attention from researchers in the medical domain, including radiology.

The use of whole-body MRI (WBMRI) in children, from infancy to adolescence, has expanded rapidly over the past decade, with increasing uptake and a broadening range of clinical indications. Current indications include screening for presymptomatic lesions in cancer predisposition syndromes; tumor staging in known malignancies; investigating fevers of unknown origin; as well as diagnosing and monitoring rheumatologic diseases, vascular anomalies and neuromuscular disorders. This AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review aims to offer a comprehensive discussion of WBMRI in pediatric patients, exploring protocols and other technical considerations, clinical indications, implementation challenges and troubleshooting, as well as controversies in widespread adoption, while considering emerging trends and directions.
