TL;DR: Surgical findings agreed with those from MR images in all seven patients who underwent arthroscopy before MR imaging and in ten of the 12 who underwent surgery afterward, suggesting MR imaging is an accurate means of examining the posterior patellar cartilage.

TL;DR: In order to determine the clinical usefulness of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, the investigators examined a variety of normal volunteers, patients with neoplastic lesions, and experimental animals and found NMR applications in the vascular system, spine, brain, lung, and mediastinum offer certain advantages over other modalities.

TL;DR: The effect of different mAs settings on computed tomobraphy (CT) image quality was evaluated by a clinical study and phantom studies; there appeared to be a linear relationship between noise, as measured by RMSD, and body size.

TL;DR: Respiratory movement of the pancreas was documented ultrasonically in 36 normal patients and volunteers and has obvious implications both for static B‐mode ultrasound scanning and for CT scanning.

TL;DR: MR imaging appears to provide an objective method of evaluating both synovial hypertrophy and status of articular cartilage, and may prove to be useful in monitoring progression of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and response to therapy.
