Pars defect detection with 3 T GE ZeroTE bone MRI in children, adolescents and young adults with low back pain: a pilot study of inter-rater reproducibility and CT-linked feasibility.
3 T zero echo time MRI showed high inter-rater reproducibility for pars-defect detection and may serve as a reproducible, radiation-sparing adjunct to lumbar MRI rather than a replacement for CT, and require confirmation in larger studies.
INTRODUCTION
Lumbar spondylolysis is a common cause of low back pain in adolescents, yet early and confident diagnosis often requires CT, exposing patients to radiation. The Black-Bone (BB) MR sequence is a 3D low-flip-angle gradient-echo (GRE) acquisition designed to enhance bone-soft tissue contrast. This study asses...

Abstract Objective To evaluate diagnostic agreement between ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in suspected hip abductor pathology, and to assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) on this agreement. Methods From September 1, 2005, to March 11, 2025, patients evaluated for lateral hip pain at a...

FRACTURE provides CT-like structural information with good reproducibility and showed a numerically higher correlation with CT for overall structural severity than T1-WI, while also improving the depiction of certain osseous anatomical variants relevant to differential diagnosis.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare female reproductive tract malformation. Accurate preoperative diagnosis and classification are vital for surgical planning. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) T2-weighted MRI in the preoperative assessment and cla...

OBJECTIVE
To validate the feasibility of a three-dimensional dual-echo-steady-state (3D-DESS) sequence at 7-T MRI to reliably depict the detailed anatomy in the cervical spine.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Seventy-eight asymptomatic volunteers (age 36.4 ± 11.6 years) were imaged, using a 3D-DESS sequence at 7-T MRI. The cou...

To determine the correlation between quantitative HU values derived from DECT collagen maps and the MRI-based Pfirrmann grade. We retrospectively reviewed IVDs in patients who underwent both spinal DECT and MRI within one year. CT scans were acquired using single-source DECT at 80 and 135-kVp with automatic exposure co...
