To determine the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating severe vertebral body compression fractures, or vertebra plana, patients with osteoporosis.In 155 patients, 310 vertebroplasties were performed during 25 months and 15 days. Of these, 37 (27 women, 10 men; mean age, 73.6 years) underwent 48 for osteoporotic fractures. The fractures defined as vertebrae that have collapsed to less than one-third their original height. Imaging clinical features analyzed, including extent...
Diffusion weighted MRI was performed on patients with acute vertebral body compression. The usefulness of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in differentiating between benign and malignant fractures evaluated. A total 49 compression were found 32 patients. 25 18 due to osteoporosis, 12 histologically proven be malignancy, 6 2 tuberculosis. Signal intensities T(1) weighted, short tau inversion recovery (STIR) images compared. ADC values normal abnormal bodies calculated. Except for two...
Insufficiency fractures of the pelvis are being increasingly recognized as a major cause low back pain in elderly women with osteoporosis. Fractures sacrum difficult to diagnose, plain radiographic findings either unhelpful or misleading. Bone scintigraphy is very sensitive for detection sacrum, demonstration H-shaped (or butterfly) sacral pattern combination concomitant and parasymphyseal uptake considered characteristic insufficiency fractures. Computed tomography (CT) helpful confirming...

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an emerging interventional technique in which surgical polymethylmethacrylate injected via a large bore needle into vertebral body under imaging guidance. This provides increased strength and pain relief vertebrae weakened by variety of bone diseases. The current indication for intractable non-radicular caused compression fractures due to osteoporosis, myeloma, metastases aggressive haemangioma. Contraindications include bleeding disorder, unstable fracture...
Papillary lesions of the breast are a heterogeneous group that difficult to diagnose as benign or malignant. The purpose this article is review clinical presentation, imaging features, and pathologic correlation papillary discuss prognosis management these lesions.Recognition variety malignant will facilitate diagnosis proper management.
Chronic spine pain poses a peculiar diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to multiple sources, overlapping clinical features nonspecific radiological findings. Facet joint injection is an interventional management tool for facet-related spinal that can be effectively administered by radiologist. This technique the gold standard identifying facet joints as source of pain. The major indications injections include strong suspicion syndrome, focal tenderness over joints, low back with normal...

Sleep apnoea has been reported to occur in subjects with acromegaly. This study evaluates the relationship among biochemical activity, sleep apnoeic activity and upper airway anatomic profile acromegaly, effect of Sandostatin LAR, a long-acting somatostatin analogue, on these parameters.Fourteen acromegaly were recruited.Subjects assessed at baseline those apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) > or = 5 reassessed after 6 months treatment LAR 20-30 mg IMI 4-weekly. Biochemical was levels GH IGF-1....
To test the hypothesis that acromial shape is comparable on supraspinatus outlet view radiographs and parasagittal magnetic resonance (MR) images.Supraspinatus of a dried scapula were obtained in neutral position with various degrees caudal, cranial, anterior, posterior angulation. Sagittal MR images 41 asymptomatic 39 symptomatic shoulders reviewed compared from cases. Acromial was assessed published classification schemes.Minor variations angulation produced changes apparent thickness...
Accurate diagnosis of spine lesions is important for its successful management. Imaging-guided percutaneous biopsy gaining increasing acceptance as a means obtaining tissue diagnosis. Most biopsies can be rapidly performed under local anaesthesia, with little patient discomfort and improved safety. Spinal anatomy is, however, complex many adjacent vital structures. Good knowledge precise needling technique therefore, important. Today, spinal best computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopic...
