Fellows’ Journal Club This study assesses the results of armed kyphoplasty using vertebral body stents or the SpineJack in traumatic, osteoporotic, and neoplastic burst fractures with respect to vertebral body height restoration and correction of posterior wall retropulsion. The authors
Fellows’ Journal Club Ten patients with clinically suspected facetogenic low back pain were prospectively recruited with a designation of specific facet joints implicated clinically. Subsequently, patients underwent an FDG-PET/MR imaging examination with gadolinium. Each facet joint was graded for perifacet

Fellows’ Journal Club Twenty patients with deep lumbosacral spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas were included in this series. Cord T2 hyperintensity and contrast enhancement were present in most cases. The filum vein and/or lumbar veins were dilated in 95% of patients.
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors sought to determine whether the L5 vertebra could be accurately localized by using nerve morphology on MR imaging. A sample of 108 cases with full spine MR imaging were numbered from the C2 vertebral body
Fellows’ Journal Club Eighteen patients with 19 lesions underwent a total of 30 negative spinal angiograms. The lesions included 9 epidural arteriovenous fistulas, 8 dural arteriovenous fistulas, and 2 perimedullary arteriovenous fistulas. Seventeen patients underwent endovascular (11) or surgical (6)
Fellows’ Journal Club Forty healthy subjects underwent T2WI, DTI, magnetization transfer, and T2*WI at 3T in <35 minutes using standard hardware and pulse sequences. Cross-sectional area, fractional anisotropy, magnetization transfer ratio, and T2*WI WM/GM signal intensity ratio were calculated. Reliable
Fellows’ Journal Club Ninety-four flat panel catheter angiotomography acquisitions obtained during the selective injection of intersegmental arteries providing an anterior radiculomedullary artery were reviewed. The location of radicular arteries could be ascertained in 78/94 flat panel catheter angiotomography acquisitions. Fifty-three
Editor’s Choice Using the open source platform, the “Spinal Cord Toolbox,” the authors sought to correlate measures of GM, WM, and cross-sectional area pathology on T2 MR imaging with motor disability in 9 patients with acute flaccid myelitis. Proportion of
Editor’s Choice These investigators retrospectively reviewed the clinical and MR imaging findings of 12 patients with limited dorsal myeloschisis and 10 patients with congenital dermal sinus. A crater covered with pale epithelium was the most common skin lesion in limited
