MRI finds long-term concussion effects
Concussion is a known risk in many sports, but especially in soccer. Players may not realize that "heading" the ball or colliding with each other puts them at risk for neurologic damage. A group of researchers studies the link between concussion and possible long-term effects with MRI.

Meniscal MRI studies highlight axial advantages, radial tear rates
Repeatedly jumping to spike and block on hard courts can take its toll on indoor volleyball athletes, even causing acute injuries like meniscal tears. MRI has long been used to visualize these injuries, but two new studies focus on the benefits of using standard axial images and identifying radial tear rates with MRI.

Bone scans show footballers' limits after ACL repair
Playing American football sidelines many athletes with knee injuries, but the sport that the rest of the world calls football may be even more crippling. In fact, soccer players who return to competition after catastrophic knee injuries may be putting their joints at considerable risk.

Rowers facing more rib stress factures
Rowing has been a competitive sport since it debuted in England in 1716. It became an international collegiate sport in 1793, and men made their Olympic rowing debut in 1900. Despite all that history, there’s not a great deal of medical literature about rowing injuries. But in recent years, rowers are getting hurt in greater numbers, suffering particularly from stress fractures of the ribs.

Equine MRI clarifies navicular disease
For equine athletes, life just keeps getting better. The grueling long-distance endurance phase of the equestrian competition has been eliminated from the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. And if horses are injured, they can now be imaged with an MRI scanner designed just for them.

Doppler US shows near-ischemic catchers' hands
Baseball catchers are a strange lot. They choose to spend summer after summer squatting for hours in the heat, taking bat blows to the head and getting slammed by foul balls to the hand, wrist, throat, and worse. Now, a new study claims that catchers endure injuries they may not even be aware of: microvascular symptoms that point to a high risk of digital ischemia.

Shoulders bear brunt of water polo's demands
Water polo is for the athlete not satisfied with mere sport. There may be no crying in baseball, but there’s no stopping in water polo. A match is 28 minutes of constant motion that is torture on players’ shoulders.

Ultrasound nonmass breast lesion features may signal malignancy
By Amerigo Allegretto
Some nonmass breast lesion characteristics on ultrasound exams can be considered suspicious for malignancy at screening ultrasound.
November 5, 2024
Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a malignant non-mass lesion that was diagnosed as microinvasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Transverse and (B) longitudinal ultrasound images show a hypoechoic non-mass lesion (solid arrows) with segmental distribution in the left breast. The lesion has associated calcifications (dashed arrows in A). (C) Longitudinal color Doppler ultrasound image shows high vascularity. (D) Magnified image in the mediolateral oblique view from screening mammography shows grouped calcifications (arrows), which are considered a mammographic correlate of the ultrasound-detected non-mass lesion (A radiopaque marker attached to the skin is visible in the image because the mammographic exam was performed after screening breast ultrasound). Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and pathologic examination revealed ductal carcinoma in situ, but the lesion was upgraded to microinvasive ductal carcinoma at subsequent surgery (2.5-cm ductal carcinoma in situ, histologic grade II, estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-negative).
