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.

AI tool achieves excellent agreement for knee OA severity classification

Many decision support tools catered to knee osteoarthritis have emerged in recent years, but external validation that ensures these algorithms can operate in a clinical setting has been lacking.

Multi-slice knee MRI technique saves time without sacrificing quality

Radiologists should know that the more they use simultaneous multi-slice settings, the more likely artifacts are to appear.

Radiologist-delivered cooled ablation procedure offers long-term pain relief for knee replacement patients

The authors hope this minimally invasive approach could become the standard of care for this population.

AI scores 1 against a knee injury common among athletes

The AI development team was guided by a sports-medicine specialist dubbed “the go-to orthopedic surgeon for many of the greatest athletes on the planet.”

New guidance for knee cartilage MRI seeks to prevent irreversible osteoarthritis

A special RSNA committee unveiled their update in a new report published in Radiology.

More than 99% of X-rays after knee replacement are unnecessary, costing healthcare millions

Gathering radiographs following an operation is common practice, but there is little data on the usefulness of these exams, experts wrote in The Knee.

Routine CT scans offer radiologists opportunity to detect costly bone problems

A Mount Sinai School of Medicine-led team said such scans should be used to spot possible osteoporosis.
