Abstract:
There is a need for using standardized lexicons and risk-severity scoring systems in different disease conditions encountered in musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology for improved interdisciplinary care. Several radiology reporting and data systems (RADS) scoring schemes have been recently published in the last 5 years for bone tumors and other MSK conditions like soft tissue tumors, infections, and peripheral neuropathy. Such systems allow standardized radiology reporting and common language for interdisciplinary communications while facilitating timely and appropriate patient management. This article highlights the key points, advantages, and pitfalls in the usage and utility of various RADS systems available for MSK radiology.

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...
