OBJECTIVE To assess whether the presence of structural osteoarthritis (OA) features over as many as 4 years prior to incident radiographic OA increases the risk of radiographic OA in a nested, case-control design. METHODS We studied 355 knees from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort that developed radiographic OA before the 48-month visit. They were matched one-to-one by sex, age, and contra...

the akhal-teke is an ancient horse originat-ing from asia where it was used by nomadic tribes and used as a warhorse. lameness examinations require proper interpretation of clinical and radiographic findings. therefore, understanding of normal radiographic findings of the foot is necessary. although the radiographic appearance of the normal foot must be understood to recognize abnormalities ,th...

This study was conducted (1) to document discrepancies between preoperative and postoperative radiographic measurements and postregistration and postimplantation intraoperative navigational measurements of coronal limb alignments, and (2) to identify predictors of discrepancies between radiographic and navigational measures. In addition, we propose the use of a novel radiographic measuring meth...

• In the awake, asymptomatic patient who is without neck pain or tenderness, who has a normal neurological examination, is without an injury detracting from an accurate evaluation, and who is able to complete a functional range of motion examination; radiographic evaluation of the cervical spine is not recommended. • Discontinuance of cervical immobilization for these patients is recommended wi...

The purpose of this study was to compare MRI scanogram with traditional radiographic methods for measurement of limb length. The authors hypothesized that MRI scanogram would be as reliable and accurate as radiographic scanogram in measurement of limb length without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. Twelve cadaveric femurs were measured using AP conventional radiographic scanogram, CT sc...

cemento-ossifying fibroma (cof) is a rare benign fibro-osseous tumor. the radiographic and clini cal features of this lesion are unpredictable and variable. in this report, the patient was a 12-year old girl with a painless swelling which demon strated an opaque lesion with radiolucent zone to involve left posterior portion of the mandible on panoramic radiography. the radiographic manife stati...
