Acute knee injury is very common. Plain films are commonly requested and most bony injuries are fairly obvious. However, the changes may be subtle and small bony avulsions may be a clue to more serious injury. Many knee injuries involve soft tissue structures and, where significant, may require MRI for investigation. To access the full […]

Pressures on radiology training are continually mounting, with increasing numbers of trainees, already busy departments and increasing restrictions on study budgets. Simulation training is widely used in medical training and aims to replicate realistic scenarios with real-world challenges in a safe space and with direct support to enhance the educational benefit to those involved. This […]

Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is the second leading cause of death and the third cause of death and disability worldwide. The estimated global cost of stroke is over $720 billion. In the UK, the incidence of stroke is over 110,000 and the prevalence of stroke is predicted to increase by 120% by 2035. Hyperacute stroke […]

Cross-sectional imaging alongside endoscopy is central to the multidisciplinary evaluation of sinonasal pathologies and is often fundamental in differentiating both benign and malignant tumours from the more common inflammatory or infective entities such as primary chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). In addition to determining disease extent in relation to neighbouring vital craniofacial structures, imaging is key in […]

Lymph nodes are vital components of the immune system and are numerous in the neck. They are ovoid structures surrounded by a capsule that are fed by afferent lymphatic vessels transporting lymphatic fluid from the soft tissues. The substance of the lymph node contains immune cells and immune mediators, in effect filtering the lymphatic fluid, […]

MRI, with its unrivalled soft tissue contrast, multiplanar and functional capability, plays an essential role in the imaging and subsequent management of patients with cancer. Among functional imaging techniques, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has significantly impacted oncological imaging over the past two decades. While DWI is primarily the focus of cancer research as a potential biomarker, […]

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory condition that damages the lining of synovial joints and subchondral bone marrow. RA progressively causes functional decline, which can lead to permanent pathological deformity and premature mortality due to cardiovascular co-morbidities. RA typically affects the smaller joints of the hands and feet; however, larger joints can […]

Integrating ultrasound into undergraduate medical curricula in the UK remains a hard nut to crack. While UK medical schools are making progress, there is no standardised undergraduate medical ultrasound curriculum and we are considerably behind the USA and Europe. As a new medical school, we were able to consider the essential ingredients to include in […]
