Hyperextension of the first metatarsophalangeal joint can lead to a turf toe injury of the plantar plate complex, resulting in significant morbidity for athletes. This article reviews the anatomy, pathophysiology, classification, and imaging findings of turf toe injuries. In turf toe trauma, many different structures can be injured, with the sesamoid-phalangeal ligaments the most common. Diagnosis, classification, and treatment options rely on clinical evaluation and specific magnetic resonance imaging findings...

INTRODUCTION: First Ray Instability (FRI) and especially hypermobility leads to the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch's structural framework, which reduces the foot's ability to become a rigid lever for propulsion, resulting in progressive foot deformities. Early detection of FRI with prompt intervention helps prevent degenerative foot deformities. Various manual, device-based and radiographic diagnostic tests for FRI quantification have been described in the literature. We aim to conduct an up-to-date, comprehensive, systematic review of the literature reporting on diagnostic tests to evaluate FRI...

BACKGROUND:  There is a significant shortage of radiographers in Germany and this shortage is expected to increase. Thus, it is becoming increasingly difficult for radiological facilities to adequately provide their services for the required period of time. Teleradiology has already been established for electronic transmission of diagnostic radiographic imaging examinations between two geographical locations for diagnostic reporting. Recently, the concept of teleoperating radiological devices has become increasingly attractive...

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a fluoroscopic technique that allows the assessment of the urinary tract, including the urethra, bladder, and-if vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is present-the ureters and the pelvicalyceal systems. The technique also allows for the assessment of bladder filling and emptying, providing information on anatomical and functional aspects. VCUG is, together with contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (VUS), still the gold standard test to diagnose VUR and it is one of the most performed fluoroscopic examinations in pediatric radiology departments...

CT protocol management is an arduous task that requires expertise from a variety of radiology professionals, including technologists, radiologists, radiology IT professionals, and medical physicists. Each CT vendor has unique, proprietary protocol file structures, some of which may vary by scanner model, making it difficult to develop a universal framework for distilling technical parameters to a human-readable file format. An ideal solution for CT protocol management is to minimize the work required for parameter extraction by introducing a data format into the workflow that is universal to all CT scanners...

Sacroiliitis is commonly seen in patients with axial spondyloarthritis, in whom timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent irreversible structural damage. Imaging has a prominent place in the diagnostic process and several new imaging techniques have been examined for this purpose. We present a summary of updated evidence-based practice recommendations for imaging of sacroiliitis. MRI remains the imaging modality of choice for patients with suspected sacroiliitis, using at least four sequences: coronal oblique T1-weighted and fluid-sensitive sequences, a perpendicular axial oblique sequence, and a sequence for optimal evaluation of the bone-cartilage interface...

This case report describes a 32-year-old Pakistani male patient with an Ewing sarcoma (ES) of the adrenal gland. Presenting complaints were abdominal distention, pain, low-grade fever, and weight loss. Initial studies, including imaging and tumor markers, ruled out any other possible origins of the mass. A percutaneous biopsy verified the tumor's neuroendocrine origin. Extensive involvement of nearby anatomical structures was discovered through exploratory laparotomy, rendering total resection difficult. Based on the presence of malignant, round, blue cells that were positive for specific immunostaining markers, the histopathology report supported the diagnosis of an ES with a staging of T3N0M0...

Image-to-text radiology report generation aims to automatically produce radiology reports that describe the findings in medical images. Most existing methods focus solely on the image data, disregarding the other patient information accessible to radiologists. In this paper, we present a novel multi-modal deep neural network framework for generating chest x-rays reports by integrating structured patient data, such as vital signs and symptoms, alongside unstructured clinical notes. We introduce a conditioned cross-multi-head attention module to fuse these heterogeneous data modalities, bridging the semantic gap between visual and textual data...
