Value of central vein sign in discriminating multiple sclerosis plaques from other white matter lesions
ConclusionThough the CVS is not found solely in MS lesions it is more frequent in MS WMLs as compared to non MS WML and thus is reliable adjunctive tool in differentiation of MS plaques from WMLs of alternative etiologies. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Value of quantitative assessment using Multidetector CT in predicting ligamentous and meniscal injuries in acute tibial plateau fractures
ConclusionMDCT measurements of LPD and LPW are correlated with incidence and number of ligamentous and meniscal injuries. MDCT can predict ligamentous and meniscal injuries without waiting for MRI in acute tibial plateau fractures. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Age determination by MR imaging of the wrist in Egyptian male football players. How far is it reliable?
ConclusionAge determination by MR of the left wrist as a radiation - risk free tool provides moderate correlation with the chronological age. A reliable predictive rule for estimation of a player's age from grade of fusion by MRI could be achieved. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Benign soft tissue chondroma of the foot
Publication date: March 2018Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Volume 49, Issue 1Author(s): Heba F. Tantawy, Mansour M. MorsyAbstractSoft tissue chondroma is an uncommon soft-tissue cartilaginous tumor of benign nature, it considers a variant of extra-skeletal chondromas that undergoes extensive ossification. This case of a 37 years old Egyptian male presented with a recurrent slowly growing painful palpable heel mass arises at the plantar aspect of his RT foot.The case is pathologically proven to be benign soft tissue chondroma.
