Radiographically
normal knees with contralateral joint
space narrowing display greater change
in cartilage transverse relaxation time
than those with normal contralateral
knees: A model of early OA – Data
from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
A total of 120 radiographically normal
knees from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
were examined by the researchers in
order to develop a model of early osteoarthritis,
by investigating whether radiographically
normal knees with contralateral joint
space narrowing (JSN), but without contralateral
trauma history, illustrated higher longitudinal
cartilage composition change (transverse
relaxation time...

Diagnosis
and prediction of relapses in Susac
syndrome: A new use for MR postcontrast
flair leptomeningeal enhancement
From January 2011 to December 2017,
nine consecutive patients with Susac
syndrome and 73 patients with multiple
sclerosis or clinically isolated syndrome
(control group) were recruited in the
study by the experts in order to evaluate
its prevalence and importance of leptomeningeal
enhancement in Susac syndrome using
3T postcontrast fluid-attenuated inversion
recovery MR imaging.

experience of a dedicated prostate mpMRI
pre-biopsy programme and effect on timed
cancer diagnostic pathways
During a 30-month period, 1,483 patients
with prostate cancer suspicion were
assessed by researchers to assess the
impact of pre-biopsy magnetic resonance

Artificial
intelligence — upping the game
in gastrointestinal endoscopy?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the
potential to change many aspects of
health-care practice. Two newly published
trials explore the potential applications
of AI to improve polyp detection and
mucosal visualization in gastrointestinal
endoscopy — both show the benefits
of AI to improve detection in gastrointestinal
endoscopy.

Perspectives
on how to communicate to older adults
about stopping cancer screening
Over the past decades, the idea that
all adults should get regularly screened
for cancer -- with mammograms, colonoscopies
and prostate specific antigen blood
tests -- has been conveyed to the public
time after time. But current clinical
guidelines recommend against screening
many older adults, such as those with
less than 10 years' life expectancy.
For doctors, talking to a patient about
the idea that they've "aged out"
of cancer screening can be a challenging
conversation.
