MRi of the knee compared to specialized radiography for measurements of articular cartilage height in knees with osteoarthritis.
This study aims to evaluate and compare extremity-MRi with specialized radiography by measuring articular cartilage height in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A prospective study, including sixty patients. Measurements on MRi images, Rosenberg view, and coronal stress radiographs were performed. ⋯ In the lateral compartment, MRi and the Rosenberg/valgus stress view were strongly correlated. We conclude that MRi cannot replace radiographs for the measurement of articular cartilage thickness. MRi should, however, be reserved for more unusual cases of atypical clinical findings.

Iliac anatomy in women with developmental dysplasia of the hip: Measurements using three-dimensional computed tomography.
We aimed to clarify the iliac anatomy in developmental dysplasia of the hip using three-dimensional computed tomography. ⋯ Our study suggests that bone dysplasia occurs in the ilium near the acetabulum, not in the iliac wings.
