TL;DR: Wider cages avoid subsidence and better restore segmental lordosis in stand-alone lateral interbody fusion, and Cage subsidence is identified early in follow-up and can be accessed using the proposed classification scale.

TL;DR: The RSNA Pediatric Bone Age Machine Learning Challenge showed how a coordinated approach to solving a medical imaging problem can be successfully conducted and will catalyze collaboration and development of ML tools and methods that can potentially improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care.

TL;DR: The stand-alone lateral interbody fusion as a minimally invasive option for the treatment of low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis with a minimum 24-month followup was investigated and showed lasting improvements in clinical outcomes.

TL;DR: NAWM was found to have a normal Naa/Cr in patients with NMO, reinforcing the concept that the white matter is not primarily affected in this disease.

TL;DR: Six Brazilian patients with NMO, fulfilling the 1999 Wingerchuck criteria for this disease, with abnormal brain MRI are reported on and their clinical and radiological features are discussed.
