Lisfranc Fracture Dislocation

Global Radiology CME

A computed tomography scan will better assist with diagnosis and help with planning if surgery is necessary [3]. Magnetic resonance imaging will help to evaluate ligamentous injury and provides a 94% predictive value for diagnosing Lisfranc injury [5]. J Foot Ankle Res. 2023;16(1):9. Published 2023 Mar 1.

Type 3 Cuboid Fracture

Global Radiology CME

More sophisticated imaging, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, should be obtained if plain film is unrevealing but there is high suspicion of fracture. Diagram showing the types of fracture of the cuboid [1].

The radiologist in 22 years time

Radiology Cafe

A trial, which involved analysing a computerised tomography (CT) scan of a patient’s lungs against three expert human radiologists, found that Enlitic’s system was 50% better at classifying malignant tumours and had a false-negative rate of zero, compared with 7% for the humans (3).

Patients had a large ischemic-core volume, defined as an ASPECT score of 3 to 5 (range, 0 to 10, with lower scores indicating larger infarction) or a core volume of at least 50 ml on computed tomography perfusion or diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. 3 tables, 1 figure, no images 6.
