Osteofibrous Dysplasia
A 13-year-old boy presents with increasing right calf mass.
History: A 13-year-old boy presents with increasing right calf mass.

Axial fat suppressed images through the area of concern:
Diagnosis: Osteofibrous dysplasia
Findings: Cortically based lucency of the middle tibia. No medullary involvement and without periosteal reaction. Status post bone graft packing on final images.
Comments: Osteofibrous dysplasia is a rare bone tumor of the tubular bones, most commonly in the anterior cortex of the tibia, which is often referred to as an ossifying fibroma of the tubular bones. Thought to exist within a spectrum of benign to malignant with adamantinoma. Treatment is controversial but follow up radiographs and careful observation is paramount to assess for possible degeneration to adamantinoma.

Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
