MRI, US take on diagnostic challenge of PAI in soccer players
By Shalmali Pal
For soccer players, the ankle is subjected to chronic forces while jumping, running, and kicking. As a result, chronic ankle pain is a common problem. Clinical exams and imaging (x-ray or CT) may or may not tell the whole story in posterior ankle impingement (PAI), which can be serious enough to keep a player off the pitch. Recent studies from Canada and the U.K. have outlined the MR imaging abnormalities that are seen in PAI, as well as the role of ultrasound for guiding therapeutic injections.

Pulmonary nodule decisions must be individualized
By Eric Barnes
In dealing with the onslaught of pulmonary nodules from multidetector-row CT, radiologists are finding they need to hone their management strategies or risk being inundated. One strategy is based on established size and risk guidelines as well as individual patient factors and nodule morphology. Meanwhile, a new study suggests that gene-expression profiles could potentially improve the management of early-stage lung cancer patients.
