Observational Study
Correlation of MRI T2 mapping sequence with knee pain location in young patients with normal standard MRI.
To assess the correlation of T2 mapping abnormalities to knee pain location, in young adults with normal standard knee MRI at 3.0 Tesla. ⋯ Our results suggest that T2 mapping is an interesting MRI sequence for the exploration of young patients knee pain in case of normal MRI with a standard protocol, with a good correlation between pain location and focal prolongations of the cartilage T2 relaxation time.

Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine. Common complications related to a Meckel's diverticulum include hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, and inflammation. ⋯ Herein, we report a case of small bowel obstruction occurring due to mesodiverticular band of a Meckel's diverticulum. The important aspect of our case is clear demonstration of the mesodiverticular band adjacent to the Meckel's diverticulum on pre-operative computed tomography (CT).

Randomized Controlled Trial
Screening for lung cancer by imaging: the Nelson study.
The NELSON trial is the first randomised lung cancer screening trial in which pulmonary nodule management is based on volumetry. This led to considerably less false-positive referrals compared to other lung cancer screening trials, with very high negative predictive values found in the first and second screening rounds. Mortality results are still pending, but the knowledge already gained in the NELSON trial and its side-studies provide valuable information in the field of screening for lung cancer.
