Accuracy of low-field MRI on meniscal tears

H. N. Chen, Dong, Q. R., and Wang, Y., “Accuracy of low-field MRI on meniscal tears”, vol. 13, pp. 4267-4271, 2014.

This study aimed to verify the accuracy of low-field-intensity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing meniscus tears. A total of 171 patients were examined through low-field-intensity MRI to detect meniscus injuries. These patients were then diagnosed through arthroscopy. Examination results were recorded and compared. The accuracy of the diagnosis for internal and external meniscus tears through low-field-intensity MRI was 95.91% and 95.91%, respectively, the sensitivities were 95.60% and 96.47%, respectively, and the specificities were 96.25% and 95.35%, respectively.

Analysis of age of onset, pre-existing infections, and features of magnetic resonance imaging results in patients with acute myelitis

Q. Tang and Xiao, H., “Analysis of age of onset, pre-existing infections, and features of magnetic resonance imaging results in patients with acute myelitis”, vol. 13, pp. 4545-4551, 2014.

The clinical features and potential risk factors of acute myelitis (AM) were investigated. The medical records of patients with AM admitted to our department between January 2004 and December 2011 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis of AM was in line with the diagnostic criteria of the Transverse Myelitus Consortium Working Group. The age of onset, clinical, and imaging features of these patients were analyzed. A total of 64 patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study, including 39 males and 25 females.
