Nivolumab as a Promising Treatment Option for Metastatic Salivary Duct Carcinoma Open
Salivary duct carcinomas (SDC) of the parotid gland are rarely occurring highly malignant tumors. A 65-year-old man presented with a preauricular mass. After surgical treatment and histologic examination, the findings were interpreted as a…

Intraarticular Osteoid Osteoma: MRI Characteristics and Clinical Presentation Before and After Radiofrequency Ablation Compared to Extraarticular Osteoid Osteoma Open
Purpose To determine MRI characteristics and the clinical presentation of intraarticular osteoid osteomas (OO) before and after treatment with CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) compared with extraarticular osteoid osteomas. Materials…

Impact of MRI, CT, and Clinical Characteristics on Microbial Pathogen Detection Using CT-Guided Biopsy for Suspected Spondylodiscitis Open
Spondylodiscitis accounts for 2–7% of osteomyelitis cases and is characterized by pain, systemic inflammation, and permanent neurological deficits. We aimed to identify imaging characteristics and clinical parameters to successfully predic…
3D-modeling of the spine using EOS imaging system: Inter-reader reproducibility and reliability Open
EOS "full spine" 3D angle measurement of vertebral rotation proved to be reliable and was performed in an acceptable reconstruction time. Interreader reproducibility of axial rotation was limited to some degree in the upper and middle thor…
63 year-old male patient with suspected spondylodiscitis. Open
Sagittal T1-weighted fat-saturated contrast-enhanced sequence (A) demonstrates florid enhancement of adjacent vertebral bodies and paravertebral soft tissue. Note concomitant T2-hyperintensity of the disk space as well as vertebral and par…
CT-Guided Biopsy in Suspected Spondylodiscitis – The Association of Paravertebral Inflammation with Microbial Pathogen Detection Open
Inflammatory infiltration of the paravertebral space indicated successful pathogen detection by CT-guided biopsy. Specificity was increased by the additional occurrence of epidural infiltration or paravertebral abscesses.
