Comparative Study
Evaluation of medial patellofemoral ligament tears after acute lateral patellar dislocation: comparison of high-frequency ultrasound and MR.
The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of high-frequency ultrasound with MR in the evaluation of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) lesions after acute lateral patellar dislocation (LPD). ⋯ • High-frequency ultrasound and MR were able to detect MPFL lesions after acute lateral patellar dislocation. • High-frequency ultrasound and MR showed similarly high accuracy in diagnosing MPFL lesions. • Interobserver agreement was very good for high-frequency ultrasound and good for MR.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Pulmonary function and CT biomarkers as risk factors for cardiovascular events in male lung cancer screening participants: the NELSON study.
The objective of this study was to investigate the association of spirometry and pulmonary CT biomarkers with cardiovascular events. ⋯ • Pulmonary CT biomarkers and spirometry are associated with cardiovascular events • These pulmonary measurements do not contain clinically relevant independent prognostic information • Only coronary calcium score improved cardiovascular risk prediction above age and smoking.

To evaluate the prevalence and clinical significance of focal parotid lesions identified by (18)F- FDG PET/CT in patients with nonparotid head and neck malignancies. ⋯ • The prevalence of parotid incidentaloma on PET in head and neck malignancy was 2.1% • The malignancy rate of incidental focal parotid FDG uptake was 33.3% • SUV max could not reliably differentiate malignant from benign incidental parotid lesions.
