Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a significant cause of pain and disability worldwide. Imaging provides diagnosis, prognostication, and follow-up. Radiographs are first line, useful, and inexpensive. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect additional features not seen on radiograph, but it is of questionable usefulness in the management of knee OA....

Primary synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign neoplastic process, in which cartilaginous nodules are produced in the subsynovial tissue. It has 3 main subtypes (intra-articular, tenosynovial and bursal). We present the case of a 61-year-old female, with a mass involving her right thumb for at least 5 years, which had recently increased in size....
We present the case of a 29 year old male healthcare worker with a 6 month history of progressive left foot pain resulting in presentation to the emergency department on 3 occasions. He denied systemic symptoms. Multimodal imaging demonstrated an expansile erosive inflammatory lesion centred on the neck of the second metatarsal with aggressive feat...
Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) create a large number of casualties in a short period of time. Diagnostic radiology plays an important role in major incident responses but is often underrepresented during major incident planning (MIP) and simulation. Surveys suggest radiologists are unfamiliar with their role during an MCI. We aimed to identify key...
A 51-year-old, otherwise well woman, presented with progressive severe dyspnoea. CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) demonstrated a large filling defect within the right main pulmonary artery with evidence of right heart strain. She was anticoagulated and discharged home; however, was readmitted with progression of symptoms and hypotension within 1 month...

Our aim is to present a typical case of IgG4-related hypophysitis, which will offer insight into the aetiology and pathogenesis of this relatively newly described disease. IgG4 Related Disease is a protean systemic condition that mimics inflammatory, infectious, and malignant processes. Biopsy of affected organs will show a typical histopathologica...
