Three-point Dixon GRE sequence overcomes low-field MR limitations in knee scans
CHICAGO - Investigators from Boston have devised a new MR protocol for imaging cartilage of the knee using a 3-point Dixon gradient echo sequence. Their method compensates for the limited separation of fat and water peaks that generally hampers low-field MR imaging.

Could elastography replace conventional ultrasound-guided FNAC?
By Amerigo Allegretto
Strain elastography does not have additional benefits over conventional elastography-guided FNAC for diagnosing malignancy in thyroid nodules.
October 15, 2024
Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a solitary left-sided thyroid nodule classified at gray-scale ultrasound as category U3, upgraded to category U4 at strain elastography, and classified as category Thy4 at cytopathologic examination. Subsequent surgical histopathologic examination confirmed papillary cell carcinoma. (A) Longitudinal view of the left thyroid lobe demonstrates the low reflective nodule (between arrows) measuring 13 × 12 × 11 mm (not shown) and with a halo. (B) A longitudinal image with side-by-side visualization of the nodule (arrow) at gray scale (left) and strain elastography (right). The nodule is predominantly blue, indicating increased stiffness. (C) A longitudinal view shows the needle (arrows) within the stiffer aspect of the nodule for cytology sampling. U and Thy categories are according to British Thyroid Association system.
