Lisfranc Fracture Dislocation

Global Radiology CME

Imaging and Case Analysis: Radiographic images demonstrate misalignment of the medial side of the second metatarsal with the medial side of the middle cuneiform bone, as seen in this case. A computed tomography scan will better assist with diagnosis and help with planning if surgery is necessary [3]. J Foot Ankle Res.

Capsule Retention Following Capsule Endoscopy

Global Radiology CME

1 ] This diagnostic procedure involves swallowing a pill-sized camera that records thousands of images of the alimentary canal including the small intestine, an area difficult to examine via traditional endoscopy. Computed tomography (CT) could be used to determine the capsuleā€™s location if it is difficult to do so via x-ray.
