Though first line evaluation of bone lesions is projection radiography (XR), this is often supplemented by both computed tomography (CT), with attendant ionizing radiation, and MRI for associated marrow and soft-tissue assessment. However, if bone can be evaluated on MRI as well, then a CT may be obviated. Thus, we aim to assess an isotropic Zero Echo Time (ZTE) MRI sequence. Read More

Diffusion weighted (DW) imaging is a standard component of many MRI exams. For musculoskeletal examinations, DW is used as a tool for assessing malignant and infectious/inflammatory processes. A recently developed novel silent and distortionless DWI sequence (DW-SD) has been previously shown to have less distortion and noise as well as having equivalent diffusion contrast and ADC values in normal tissues to standard echo-planar DW imaging (DW-EPI). We aim in this study to validate and assess this novel DW-SD method in pediatric extremity pathology cases. Read More
