Orthopedic Imaging

Orthopedic imaging relies on X-ray, MRI and CT to diagnose disorders and injuries affecting the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and spine. Orthopedists also use these test results to create an effective treatment plan.

Shoulder ultrasound effectively detects insulin resistance, even before abnormal labs
POCUS could represent a quick, easy and affordable way to detect signs of insulin resistance before it progresses into diabetes, researchers suggest.
Certain knee injections may cause osteoarthritis to progress more rapidly, new MRI data suggest
These new findings may lead to more “judicious use” of corticosteroids in pain management.
MSK team achieves 0% sedation rate for pediatric MRI
Almost 2,000 children underwent musculoskeletal MRI over an eight-year stretch at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and not a single one of them needed sedation to get through the exam.
New radiotracer has 'incredible potential' to improve management of spinal cord injuries
Experts hope the information gained from their research could help providers better determine whether patients will regain mobility after sustaining an injury.
Deep learning model enables routine radiographs to be used for osteoporosis screening
Many people with low bone mineral density are not aware of their condition because they fail to get screened through DXA or are not eligible due to age.

MRI of knee with Osgood-Schlatter Disease

MRI scoring system simplifies diagnosis of common adolescent ortho issue

The condition can worsen with physical activity, which is why an accurate and timely diagnosis is important for healthy growth.

Orthopedic trauma reads a 'significant difficulty' for radiology residents

The findings are concerning, especially considering the amount of orthopedic cases residents are involved in during call shifts, researchers caution.

New MRI technology improves imaging of metallic joint replacements

The technology is so promising that it is being integrated into GE Healthcare’s MRI scanners so that providers can conduct more thorough evaluations of how these implants hold up over time.
