    Abstract Benign bone tumors are a wide variety of usually asymptomatic neoplasms, which in most cases are diagnosed due to secondary causes. As such, their real incidence is unknown. In the majority of cases, plain radiographs are enough for diagnosis; more advanced imaging, such as CT scan or MRI is sometimes performed for equivocal lesions. Treatment approach depends on whether the lesion is symptomatic and the risk of further progression, or development of secondary malignancies. When non expectant management is decided, treatment options include minimally invasive methods and surgery.

    Abstract Imaging in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) plays a key role in diagnosis, surgical planning, and assessment of treatment response, and surveillance. In this review, we discuss the imaging features-with an emphasis on MR imaging-of nonvisceral STS, highlighting representative tumors from the various WHO subtypes. We focus on imaging findings that may aid the radiologist in categorizing tumor subtype and grade, and that affect disease staging.

    Abstract Soft-tissue sarcomas are a rare and extremely heterogeneous group of cancers, representing <1% of all human malignancies. The lungs are the most common site of distant metastasis, followed by the bone, lymph nodes, liver, brain, and subcutaneous tissue. Clinical experience suggests that skeletal metastasis is part of the natural history affecting the prognosis and quality of life in these patients. Approximately 2.2% of patients have skeletal metastasis at diagnosis. However, up to 10% will develop skeletal metastasis after a mean interval of 21.3 months. Although systemic therapy with conventional chemotherapy remains the primary treatment modality for those with metastatic sarcoma, increased survival has been achieved in selected patients who receive multimodality therapy, including surgery, for their metastatic disease. The 5-year overall survival of patients with isolated bone metastases was 41.2% (26.9% to 54.9%), which decreased to 32.9% (21.2% to 45.1%) in the setting of combined bone and lung metastases. Moreover, the resection of the primary soft-tissue sarcoma is a predictor of survival, resulting in a 58% decrease in mortality after surgery (hazard ratio, 0.42, P = 0.013). Understanding the effect of these metastases on patient survival may influence imaging, surveillance, and treatment decisions.

    Abstract A wide range of nontraumatic musculoskeletal conditions may require emergent or urgent management to avoid adverse clinical outcomes. These entities include bone and soft tissue infections, tissue necrosis, impending pathologic fracture or fungating tumor, and pseudoaneurysms. In this review, the magnetic resonance imaging appearance of these various entities is presented and discussed with the aim of improving radiologist and clinician recognition of the importance of key imaging findings in each case.

    Abstract Fractures and dislocations of the elbow are a common cause of emergency department visits each year. Radiography remains the bedrock of an initial injury assessment, and recognition of distinctive injury patterns based on fracture location, morphology, and severity, guides optimal clinical decision-making. This article reviews basic elbow anatomy, frequently seen fractures and injury patterns, and highlights how these findings influence surgical planning and patient management.

    Abstract Hereditary cancer syndromes comprise an important subset of cancers caused by pathogenic germline mutations that can affect various organ systems. Radiologic screening and surveillance for solid tumors has emerged as a critical component of patient management in permitting early cancer detection. Although imaging surveillance may be tailored for organ-specific cancer risks, surveillance protocols frequently utilize whole-body MRI or PET/CT because of their ability to identify neoplasms in different anatomic regions in a single exam. In this review, we discuss the basic tenets of imaging screening and surveillance strategies in these syndromes, highlighting the more common neoplasms and their associated multimodality imaging findings.

    Abstract Case: We report a case of a 68-year-old woman who developed left shoulder glenohumeral joint septic arthritis within 1 week of receiving the COVID-19 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
    Conclusion: Common vaccine complications include injection site pain, fever, chills, arthralgia, and hypersensitivity reactions. A less common and more serious complication of septic arthritis has been reported and requires invasive treatment of surgical irrigation and debridement, and culture-specific parenteral antibiotic therapy. The current report highlights the clinical presentation and significant potential for serious complication with the improper technique. We urge vaccine administrators to practice caution and aseptic technique when vaccinating patients to reduce the risk of complication and morbidity.

    Abstract Objective: Our purpose was to assess the calibration of resident, fellow, and attending radiologists on a simple image classification task (presence or absence of an anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] tear based on interpretation of sagittal proton density, fat-saturated MR images) and to assess whether teaching residents could improve their calibration.
    Methods: We created a test containing 30 randomized, sagittal, proton density, fat-saturated MR images of the ACL (15 normal, 15 torn). This test was administered in person to 20 trainees and 3 attendings at one medical center in one state. An online version of the test was given to 23 trainees and 14 attendings from 11 other medical centers in nine other states. Subjects were asked to give their confidence level (0%-100%) that each ACL was torn.
    Results: Cross-sectional data were collected from 60 radiologists (mean time after medical school = 9.3 years, minimum = 1 year, maximum = 36 years). This demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in calibration as a function of increasing experience (P = .020). Longitudinal data were collected from 12 trainees at the start and end of their musculoskeletal radiology rotation, with an intervening review of the primary and secondary signs of ACL tear on MR. A statistically significant improvement in calibration was noted during the rotation (P = .028).
    Conclusions: Confidence calibration is a promising tool for quality improvement and radiologist self-assessment. Our study showed that calibration loss improves with experience in radiologists tested on a common and clinically important image classification task. We also demonstrated that calibration can be successfully taught to residents over a relatively short period (2-4 weeks).

    Abstract : In soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs), the use of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) through a standardized uptake value reduction rate correlates well with histopathological response to neoadjuvant treatment and survival.
    : PET-CT has shown a better sensitivity to diagnose systemic involvement compared with magnetic resonance imaging and CT; therefore, it has an important role in detecting recurrent systemic disease. However, delaying the use of PET-CT scan, to differentiate tumor recurrence from benign fluorodeoxyglucose uptake changes after surgical treatment and radiotherapy, is essential.
    : PET-CT limitations such as difficult differentiation between benign inflammatory and malignant processes, inefficient discrimination between benign soft-tissue tumors and STSs, and low sensitivity when evaluating small pulmonary metastases must be of special consideration.
