MRI study of hip joints shows: Avascular necrosis involving bilateral capital femoral epiphysis. Modified Kerboul method is used for prediction of collapse in femoral head osteonecrosis by volumetric analysis on MRI. HOW IS IT CALCULATED ? The arc of the femoral surface involved by necrosis measured by angles on midcoronal (A) and midsagittal image (B) and then modified Kerboul angle (A+B) calculated by the sum of the two angles for both the joints.

In the past, there was very little known about lung cancer, and the average survival rate was low. However, over the last few years, doctors have been making headway with smoking-related cancers, allowing them to diagnose it at earlier stages when they can be more successful with treatment.
