Case study: Baker's cyst
In a Baker's cyst, fluid accumulates around the knee with the gastrocnemio-semimembranosus bursa, resulting in a herniation from the posterior aspect of the knee, through the gap between the medial head of the gastrocnemius and semimembranosus tendon. Dr. Shamim Malik of Kenya discusses a case of Baker's cyst, as well as the role of imaging in making the differential diagnosis.

Case study: Ovarian dermoid cyst
At the Crater X-Ray Clinic in Nakuru, Kenya, Dr. Shamim Malik's patient population is a rural one, consisting mostly of manual laborers and subsistence farmers.
