Pelvic Trauma: What the Radiologist Needs to Know
Pelvic trauma, especially in the setting of hemodynamic instability, results in high rates of morbidity and mortality. Proper management requires rapid identification of injured structures via appropriate diagnostic studies. This review primarily focuses on the initial evaluation of pelvic trauma, the vascular territories within the pelvis, angiographic and imaging findings of vascular pelvic injury, classification of pelvic injuries, and treatment of pelvic trauma.

MRI of Urgent Soft Tissue Conditions of the Musculoskeletal System
Emergencies that involve the soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system are common; however, these conditions often are difficult to differentiate clinically.1 Early detection and diagnosis have a significant impact on treatment. Although many disorders present with similar symptoms, some laboratory and constitutional findings are helpful in diagnosing specific diseases. MRI is well-established as the preferred imaging modality for evaluation of soft tissue disorders because of its excellent contrast resolution, sensitivity for pathologic fluid accumulation, and depiction of abnormal tissue compartments; thus, recognizing ...

Pathologic Fractures: What the Radiologist Needs to Know
A pathologic fracture is a fracture of an abnormal bone weakened by an underlying disease, thus it requires careful assessment. Pathologic fractures may occur in benign lesions, primary and secondary malignancies, and a variety of metabolic disorders. A nontraumatic fracture, a fracture with minor trauma, and multiple contiguous fractures suggest a pathologic nature. In these cases of pathologic fractures, evaluation by advanced imaging modalities, including CT, MRI, and PET-CT, often reveals more significant findings. Accurately identifying and characterizing pathologic fractures on imaging are paramount for guiding prope...

The Preoperative and Postoperative Colon: What the Radiologist Needs to Know
Colon surgery may be performed for a broad range of benign and malignant causes, mainly carcinoma, diverticular disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. Given a plethora of colon surgical techniques, resultant aberrant anatomy, and postoperative complications, interpreting examinations of the postoperative colon can be a challenging endeavor. The colon surgical technique used most often is dependent upon the underlying lesion, the patient's hemodynamic status, and the surgeon's preference. Colon surgical techniques are diverse and include abdominoperineal resection, anterior resection, restorative proctocolectomy, and segm...

Paget Disease of Bone: Current Concepts
The first description of Paget disease of bone was reported by Sir James Paget, an English surgeon, in 1887.1 He described a progressive osseous disorder that caused increased bone turnover; produced architectural changes that enlarged and deformed bones; and increased fragility, making involved bones susceptible to fractures, thus coining the term “osteitis deformans.” (Source: Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology)

A Systematic Approach to the Interpretation of the Knee Radiograph to Avoid Common Diagnostic Errors
It is estimated that 2.5 million emergency department (ED) visits annually in the United States are attributed to sports-related knee injuries.1 An additional 184,000 ED visits in the United States each year are attributed to occupational knee injuries.2 About 25% of adults older than 55 years suffer from chronic knee pain, an increasing prevalence due to an aging population and increased prevalence of obesity.3 (Source: Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology)
