“…Due to the reduction in the use of bone scintigraphy in suspected child abuse cases, no recent studies examining the yield of bone scans compared to SS exist. The consensus from most studies published between 1980 and 2000 was that bone scintigraphy examinations were more sensitive at detecting acute rib fractures than radiographic SS 70–77 . These earlier findings appear inconsistent with a 2003 study which reported only 63% of rib fractures were identified by bone scans, while initial SS identified 73%.…”

Summary Non‐accidental injuries remain a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in young children. The accurate identification of the full spectrum of injuries in children presenting with suspected abuse is essential to ensure the appropriate protective intervention is taken. The identification of occult bone fractures in this cohort is important as it raises the level of concern about the mechanism of injury and maintaining the child's safety. Radiographic imaging remains the modality of choice for skeletal assessment; however, current studies report concerns regarding the ability of radiographs to detect certain fractures in the acute stage. As such, alternative modalities for the detection of fractures have been proposed. This article reviews the current literature regarding fracture detectability and radiation dose burden of imaging modalities currently used for the assessment of occult bony injury in young children in whom non‐accidental injury is suspected.

Exploring the Economy of Late Antiquity

This paper sets out to establish a general contrast between the traditions of agrarian bondage that characterized the West in the wake of the disintegration of the Roman empire and the peculiar vulnerability of the peasantry in the Byzantine, Sasanian and Islamic Near East. Within this general contrast between peasantries, I explore the differences between aristocracies in the late antique and post-Roman worlds, date the beginnings of the medieval expansion to the seventh century, and advance a critique of the way Chris Wickham handles the relations of production of the early middle ages. I argue that there was both more coercion and more complexity in the use of labour than Wickham's characterization of a self-managing peasantry suggests. The paper concludes by looking at some of the peculiarities of agrarian domination in the Near East.
