The aim of this study was to explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of anterior talofibular ligament injury. Eighty-two patients, diagnosed with anterior talofibular ligament injury by pathological examination after operation, were included. MRI showed that there were 15 cases (18.29%) of complete rupture, 50 cases (60.98%) of tear and 12 cases (14.63%) of avulsion fracture. ⋯ Compared with the pathological examination after operation, the difference was statistically insignificant (p=0.059). The accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of anterior talofibular ligament injury is high, and it has important clinical value in the early diagnosis of anterior talofibular ligament injury. Key Words: Anterior talofibular ligament, Injury, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Diagnosis.

The radiological appearance of lung abscess is nonspecific and can masquerade as a mass lesion during the early phase. The treatment is primarily medical, but surgical treatment is necessary when the size is larger than 6 cm and when patients show any indications of massive hemoptysis, empyema, bronchial obstruction, and risk of cancer or when the medical treatment fails. A 55-year male patient presented with complaints of back pain over a period of two years with additional complaints such as fatigue and coughing up of blood. ⋯ The pathological results were consistent with abscess. The patient has no complaints six months after the surgical operation. Key Words: Lung abscess, Cavitary lesion, Lung cancer, PET scan.
