RESUMEN

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for imaging the tendons and the ligaments of the ankle. MRI combines excellent tissue contrast and accurate anatomic delineation of joint structures. In this pictorial essay, the first of two parts, we delineate the ankle into anatomic compartments and use this as a template for describing pathology in each compartment.

RESUMEN

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for imaging the tendons and the ligaments of the ankle. MRI combines excellent tissue contrast and accurate anatomic delineation of joint structures. In the first article of this series, we discussed a compartmental approach to the interpretation of ankle pathology focusing on the anterior and medial compartments. This article will complete the MR review of the ankle, with a focus on the lateral and posterior compartments of the ankle.

RESUMEN

Percutaneous nephrostomy insertion has, in recent times, become a subspecialised skill performed by an interventional trained Radiologist. However, this creates access issues, particularly in remote and regional medical centres. In this article, we describe a simple and effective method for computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous nephrostomy insertion, utilising the CT interventional skills of the general radiologist.
