MDCT, MRI competitive in some bone lesion applications
By Eric Barnes

No slam dunk: Partial cuff tears defy MRI, US diagnosis
By Tracie L. Thompson
If there's only an MRI diagnosis of partial thickness rotator cuff tear (PTRCT), the shoulder surgery should probably wait. That's the upshot of two studies that also serve as reminders of inherent and practical limitations of diagnostic imaging in particularly difficult-to-visualize scenarios.

MRI sees spinal metastases earlier, but low-dose whole-body MDCT aces skeletal workup
By Eric Barnes
Researchers from the University of Munich in Germany produced two studies that put 16-slice MDCT to the test for detecting musculoskeletal tumors. In the first, MRI was far more sensitive than CT for detecting spinal metastases. However, the second study found that ultra-low-dose CT detected 100% of the osteolytic lesions detected at both standard-dose CT and MRI.
