How to best diagnose #Conjoint #NerveRoots on spine MRI? Read it here for free 👉 doi.org/10.1007/s00256… The coronal #STIR sequence greatly improved sensitivity and inter-reader agreement for conjoint lumbar nerve root (CLNR) detection on MRI. @skeletaljournal @derbalgrist

The #BlackbirdSign: Out now in print & #OpenAccess 👉link.springer.com/article/10.100… This sign can identify #EarlyAtrophy of the #Supraspinatus muscle, which is an important risk factor for re-tears after tendon repair of the shoulder. @FeuerriegelG @derbalgrist @UZH_en @EurRadiology

The findings support expanded use of photon-counting detector CT for lumbar spine evaluation. ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/aj…

While #MRI performs best for osteomyelitis, #DECT with #BME and fat maps is a viable diagnostic alternative to detect osteomyelitis in patients who cannot undergo MRI. 👇 pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra… @DrLindaMoy @RadiologyEditor @VChernyakMD @RITEditor #RadInTraining

For patients with #osteomyelitis who cannot undergo #MRI, can #DECT (Dual Energy CT) be the solution? Check it in this #Tweetorial! #RadInTraining 👉pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra… @DrLindaMoy @RadiologyEditor @VChernyakMD @RITEditor
