Abstract:
Medullary bone infarctions, which are believed to arise due to arterial obstructions in the bone, are usually asymptomatic and are noted incidentally in roentgenograms or bone scans performed for other reasons. We present two cases of acute bone infarctions that were found accidentally by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In both cases, conventional radiographs could not demonstrate any findings and the cases were clinically asymptomatic. The current two cases suggest that MRI shows various findings in bone infarctions.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
