“…Currently available data from formal comparisons between NR and SR are based on subjective (perceived quality questionnaires) and objective (key imaging findings reported) evaluations performed retrospectively, which do not provide the desirable level of evidence to confirm the urgency for a widespread adoption of structured reporting. It is possible that the same advantages of SR use could be obtained by proper education of subspecialty radiologists and promoting the use of standardized lexicon and validated scoring systems without the need for actual structuring of reports, therefore defending the autonomy of radiologists [ 81 ]. It could also be argued that multidisciplinary meetings and radiologist consultations might be a different feasible solution to increase the value and impact of our work [ 82 ].…”

In the management of several abdominal disorders, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to significantly improve patient’s outcome due to its diagnostic accuracy leading to more appropriate treatment choice. However, its clinical value heavily relies on the quality and quantity of diagnostic information that radiologists manage to convey through their reports. To solve issues such as ambiguity and lack of comprehensiveness that can occur with conventional narrative reports, the adoption of structured reporting has been proposed. Using a checklist and standardized lexicon, structured reports are designed to increase clarity while assuring that all key imaging findings related to a specific disorder are included. Unfortunately, structured reports have their limitations too, such as risk of undue report simplification and poor template plasticity. Their adoption is also far from widespread, and probably the ideal balance between radiologist autonomy and report consistency of has yet to be found. In this article, we aimed to provide an overview of structured reporting proposals for abdominal MRI and of works assessing its value in comparison to conventional free-text reporting. While for several abdominal disorders there are structured templates that have been endorsed by scientific societies and their adoption might be beneficial, stronger evidence confirming their imperativeness and added value in terms of clinical practice is needed, especially regarding the improvement of patient outcome.

“…MO develops through three distinct phases that lead to a characteristic 'zone phenomenon' observed on histological tissue samples. 21 The zones are divided into a well organised mature lamellar bone surrounding the periphery, an intermediate osteoid region and a central immature non-ossified fibroblastic focus. The phases of transition of MO usually last over an average of three months.…”

Introduction: Myositis ossificans (MO) is a condition characterised by the formation of non-neoplastic heterotropic ossification in extraskeletal soft tissues. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective study of our radiology databases within our tertiary orthopaedic centre to identify all cases of MO, reported on X ray, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Computed tomography (CT) over the past 13 years (2007e2020). Results: We identified 68 cases of MO, which were included into our cohort. The average age of our patients was 36 years (range 4e84 years). 73% of cases (n ¼ 50) were found to affect the lower limb muscles with the majority in the quadriceps. Conclusion:We report the largest case series of MO and discuss the demographics, diagnoses and management.

MRI findings seen in serous atrophy of bone marrow

et al. 2021

An 85-year-old man was referred for an MRI scan of the pelvis for further evaluation of a suspected left neck of femur fracture, which was regarded as equivocal on plain radiograph and CT. The initial MRI demonstrated unusual appearances of the visualised bone marrow and subcutaneous adipose tissue and was initially misinterpreted as a technical malfunction of the scanner. However, a repeat study on a different scanner the following day once again demonstrated the same appearances. The appearances were consistent with serous atrophy of bone marrow, a non-neoplastic disorder of the bone marrow, which is most commonly seen in severe anorexia nervosa or cachexia. These unusual, but distinct, bone marrow and subcutaneous adipose tissue appearances, which are specific to MRI, have been colloquially termed as the ‘flip-flop’ effect.
