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.

'Meaningful' FDA clearance opens new osteoarthritis treatment pathway
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently cleared a group of radiotherapy systems for use beyond cancer treatment.
Interventional procedure offers patients a year or more of pain relief from osteoarthritis
The procedure reduces inflammation and pain, and allows patients to achieve relief without having to undergo surgery and months of physical therapy during recovery.
Including diffusion tensor imaging in return-to-play protocols improves athletes' outcomes
DTI use could enable providers to make more informed decisions about athletes’ readiness to re-enter competition.
Experts create AI system that can accurately diagnose osteoporosis using routine X-rays
Experts are optimistic their tool could help providers identify patients who may be at risk of developing osteoporosis sooner.
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.

Ultrasound measurements can predict osteoporosis, study shows

Experts compared the cortical thickness of three bones—the radius, tibia and second metatarsal—of 200 volunteers who had undergone prior bone mineral density measurements to evaluate the ultrasound method’s accuracy.

FDA greenlights ortho robot, automated MRI brain modeling

FDA approvals arrive for ClearPoint Neuro and MicroPort Navibot.

A ‘powerful’ tool: Commercially available AI significantly outperforms radiologist reads for trauma imaging

The software was put to the test on nearly 5,000 trauma radiographs, assessing for the presence of fractures, dislocations, elbow effusions and focal bone lesions. In some cases, it outperformed radiologists by as many as 82 points.

Female authorship in radiology on the rise but still low in relative terms

Female authorship in musculoskeletal radiology research has seen a steady climb over the last two decades—a positive trend that is indicative of progress in a field where leadership is largely dominated by males.

Techniques for photon-counting CTs that could improve orthopedic imaging

Image sharpness was further improved when sharper reconstruction kernels were used, despite having higher noise levels.

Preoperative radiographic hip measurements predict postoperative complications

The findings were discussed today at the annual meeting of the American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine.
