We present a case of lunate fracture diagnosed which was diagnosed with cross sectional imaging. Lunate fractures are rare, and most cases in the literature were reported almost exclusively before the era of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present the imaging findings in our patient with a brief review of the literature.

Despite progress in noninvasive imaging with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, conventional angiography still contributes to the diagnostic workup of oncologic and other diseases. Arteriography can reveal tumors not evident on cross-sectional imaging, in addition to defining aberrant or unexpected arterial supply to targeted lesions. This additional and potentially unanticipat...

Eleven cases of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in nine patients were studied by cross sectional echocardiography, conventional Doppler echocardiography, and colour flow imaging. In two patients recurrent pseudoaneurysms developed after cardiac surgery, three had acute rupture after myocardial infarction, two were the result of stab wounds, one was a late rupture of a true left ventricular aneu...

OBJECTIVE Develop a gender specific database of trunk muscle cross-sectional areas across multiple levels of the thoracic and lumbar spine and develop prediction equations for the physiological cross-sectional area as a function of gender and anthropometry. DESIGN This study quantified trunk muscle cross-sectional areas of male and female spine loading muscles. BACKGROUND There is a lack of...

von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant disorder that is associated with germline mutations of VHL tumor suppressor gene, which is located at short arm of chromosome 3. This condition predisposes to the development of various benign and malignant tumors involving multiple organs; the common neoplasms include central nervous system hemangioblastomas (mostly cerebellar and spinal...

Background Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is regarded as a non harming and non invasive imaging modality with superb tissue contrast and almost no side effects. Compared to other cross-sectional imaging modalities MRI does not use ionizing radiation. Recently however, strong magnetic fields as applied in clinical MRI scanners have been suspected to induce DNA double strand breaks in human lym...

Portal vein embolization (PVE) is known as an effective and safe preoperative procedure that increases the future liver remnant (FLR) in patients with insufficient FLR. However, some possible major complications can lead to non-resectability or delayed elective surgery that results in increased morbidity and mortality. Although the majority of these complications are rare, knowledge of the radi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS) MRI is widely advocated for surveillance of metal-on-metal hip arthroplasties (MOM-HAs). However, its use is limited by susceptibility artifact at the prosthesis-bone interface, local availability, patient compliance, and cost (Hayter et al. 2011a). We wanted to determine whether CT is a suitable substitute for MARS MRI in evaluati...

Background/Objectives Few studies have applied the Chinese Diet Balance Index (DBI) in evaluating dietary quality for Chinese people. The present cross-sectional study assessed dietary quality based on DBI for older people, and the associated factors, in four socioeconomically distinct regions in China.
