Clinical imaging
-
To determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and fluoroscopy time and radiation dose during fluoroscopy-guided glenohumeral joint injections. ⋯ Intra-articular glenohumeral joint injection fluoroscopy time and radiation dose are not affected by body mass index, age, gender, trainee-involvement, first versus repeat injection, or needle length. This procedure is associated with a dose of radiation that likely has minimal to no clinical significance.
-
To assess the feasibility of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MR) with 18F-fluordeoxyglucose (FDG) for initial staging of sarcoma. ⋯ FDG PET/MR shows excellent agreement with the currently preferred imaging methods (CT and MR) in initial staging of sarcoma.
