Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often employed as the diagnostic modality of choice in occult and suspected pathological femoral neck fractures. We evaluated the clinical utility of MRI scan in this patient population. Method: Retrospective observational analysis of cases with a radiologically occult or suspected metastatic pathological neck of femur fracture. Results: From a total of 894 femoral neck fractures treated in our institution, 100 patients had and MRI scan pre-operatively for either occult fracture or suspected fracture secondary metastatic disease. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of 13 simple fractures. A total of 14 patients had pathological features suggestive of metastasis, of which 12 were clearly visible on plain radiographs. Surgical plan did not change after MRI for any of these pathological fractures. Conclusion: Results of this study demonstrate that an MRI scan had an impact on treatment selection only when a simple but radiographically occult fracture is suspected and but not in the context of suspected metastatic pathological fractures.

The Impact

Advances in neuroimaging of the preterm infant have enhanced the ability to detect brain injury. This added information has been a blessing and a curse. Neuroimaging, particularly with magnetic resonance imaging, has provided greater insight into the patterns of injury and specific vulnerabilities. It has also provided a better understanding of the microscopic and functional impacts of subtle and significant injuries. While the ability to detect injury is important and irresistible, the evidence for how these injuries link to specific long-term outcomes is less clear. In addition, the impact on parents can be profound. This narrative summary will review the history and current state of brain imaging, focusing on magnetic resonance imaging in the preterm population and the current state of the evidence for how these patterns relate to long-term outcomes.

High Resolution Mri

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become established as an important imaging modality for the clinical management of disease. This is primarily due to the great tissue contrast inherent in magnetic resonance images of normal and diseased organs. Due to the wide availability of high field magnets and the ability to generate large and rapidly switched magnetic field gradients there is growing interest in applying high resolution MRI to obtain microscopic information. This symposium on MRI microscopy highlights new developments that are leading to increased resolution. The application of high resolution MRI to significant problems in developmental biology and cancer biology will illustrate the potential of these techniques.In combination with a growing interest in obtaining high resolution MRI there is also a growing interest in obtaining functional information from MRI. The great success of MRI in clinical applications is due to the inherent contrast obtained from different tissues leading to anatomical information.
