Genicular nerve block and subsequent radiofrequency neurotomy (RFN) has emerged as a novel intervention and alternative for total knee arthroplasty in patients with refractory pain from knee osteoarthritis (OA). To our knowledge, there is no cited report correlating the accuracy of localizing the genicular nerves using bony landmarks on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ⋯ The intersection of the femoral diaphyseal shaft to a line along the metaphyseal flare and the intersection of the tibial diaphyseal shaft to a line along the medial metaphyseal can be used as a target point to localize the genicular nerves with close proximity.

Woven EndoBridge (WEB) is an innovative device for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms especially wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. Here we present our experience with the WEB device. ⋯ Although long term follow-up data are not available, WEB intrasaccular flow disruptor seems to be effective and safe for intracranial bifurcation aneurysm treatment in the mid-term follow up.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to its widespread use in multiple industries, including healthcare. AI has the potential to be a transformative technology that will significantly impact patient care. Particularly, AI has a promising role in radiology, in which computers are indispensable and new technological advances are often sought out and adopted early in clinical practice. We present an overview of the basic definitions of common terms, the development of an AI ecosystem in imaging and its value in mitigating the challenges of implementation in clinical practice.
