Preoperative localization of osteoid osteoma: a new technique that uses CT

Osteoid osteoma was first described by Jaffe [1] in 1935. It constitutes 10-1 2% of all benign neoplasms of bone [2]. The classic radiologic and clinical presentations are well described in the literature [3]. Curative resection is dependent on complete excision of the nidus. Exuberant periosteal reaction and intracortical location, two of the common presentations of this lesion, hinder intraoperative localization. Preoperative,intraoperative, and postoperative techniques forlocalization of the nidus have arisen to ensure adequate resection [4, 5]. This report demonstrates a new technique for precise preoperative localization of the nidus

Magnetic resonance imaging of the asymptomatic shoulder of overhead athletes

The difficult question of where financial losses are directly sustained has been (partly) solved by the European Court of Justice on 28 January 2015. In Kolassa the ECJ ruled that an investor suffers direct financial losses as a result of corporate misinformation (i.e. misleading information published by a company issuing (traded) shares or bonds) in the place where he holds his securities account. The impact of this ruling is not limited to the question of international jurisdiction. The Rome II Regulation prescribes that the law applicable to tort claims is the law of the country in which the direct losses are sustained. The second part deals with the question whether an investor can be bound by an exclusive jurisdiction clause in the prospectus or other investor information document. In the near future the ECJ will rule on this matter in the Profit Investment SIM case

CT and MR evaluation of the labral capsular ligamentous complex of the shoulder

Stability of the glenohumeral articulation is dependent on the integrity of the rotator cuff, labrum, glenohumeral ligaments, capsular elements, and bony glenoid. The importance of the soft-tissue elements in maintaining stability has been well documented in the surgical literature but has only recently been introduced into the radiologic literature. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the normal labrum, capsular complex, and glenohumeral ligaments, including common congenital variations as depicted by CT arthrography and MR imaging, and to describe the pathologic findings leading to shoulder instability
