It's #tractTuesday! Knowing tract directions helps with Wallerian degeneration in the cord. Tracts carrying info FROM the limbs (dorsal columns) degenerate ABOVE the level of injury, and tracts carrying info TO the limbs (lateral corticospinal) degenerate BELOW the injury #spine

Hip pain X-ray:

Pearl:

Don’t miss faint, amorphous calcification at the greater trochanter - calcific tendinosis (HADD) of the gluteal tendons.

Recognize it as a cause of significant lateral hip pain. It’s often underdiagnosed, yet treatable.

Pitfall:

Sometimes dismissed as an artifact or cortical irregularity.

Wisdom:

Every image holds two stories: the one that is seen, and the one that reveals itself only if you dare to look closer and deeper.

—My reporting list: pearls, pitfalls, and wisdom

[Sameer Raniga @samrad77]

Pearl:
Dilated superior ophthalmic veins can be seen in intubated ICU patients due to raised intrathoracic pressure and venous congestion.

Pitfall:
Don’t overcall it cavernous sinus thrombosis. Bilateral, symmetric dilation without orbital congestion is usually benign.

Wisdom:
Machines breathe, but veins still tell stories. In critical care imaging, veins often reflect physiology. Always read the patient, not just the pixels.

[Dr. OMID BANDARCHI @OBandarchi]

The vast majority of the alphabet-soup instability lesions are located at the anterior-inferior aspect of the GHJ & are associated with anterior instability and/or sequela of anterior dislocation. Lesions such as : Hill-Sachs, Bankart, Perthes, HAGL, Bony HAGL , ALPSA.

🫁 Answer: Pulmonary hamartoma

📌 A common benign lung tumor — and a classic boards + real-world pearl.

🔑 High-yield imaging clues:
• Well-circumscribed, solitary pulmonary nodule
• “Popcorn” calcifications are common 🍿 (pathognomonic)
• Intralesional fat on CT = huge clue
• Slow or no growth over time

🧠 Why it matters:
Recognizing this saves patients from unnecessary biopsies, anxiety, and follow-up scans.

👀 Pearl: Not every lung nodule needs a panic spiral — some just need pattern recognition and aggressive windowing/leveling.

The effects of prostate volume and PI-RADS category on optimal PSA-density thresholds for biopsy decision-making

https://t.co/Bq6vfxhmZy

🔵PSA-density cut-offs of 0.20ng/mL² (PI-RADS 1–2) and 0.12ng/mL² (PI-RADS 3) can guide biopsy decisions
🟡 In PI-RADS 1–3 patients with large prostate (≥ 60 mL), PSA-density becomes significantly less predictive, and low values may not reliably exclude clinically significant prostate cancer

👍Congratulations to @Tristan_Radiol and his team for this important work

Case 172: Right Adrenal Gland Biopsy with an Ipsilateral Up Decubitus Approach Using Hydrodissection

66-years old treated for Ca lung had a right adrenal nodule

The video explains why prone and ipsilateral down (the two common approaches) didn't work but surprisingly an ipsilateral up approach did.

An approach to adrenal gland lesions can generally be found by trying out different positions from prone to ipsilateral down to ipsilateral up decubitus. Hydrodissection helps

🚀 Multimodality imaging of mature cystic ovarian teratoma (dermoid)

🔊 US: mixed echo mass w/ layering hyperechoic content
☢️ CT: mixed density with fat, complex fluid, central rounded focus
🧲 MRI: fat & fluid layering with interface nodule (Poke ball)

[Sameer Raniga @samrad77]

Cortical Infarcts Spectrum:

Patient with acute neuro deficits. MRI DWI shows:
•Tiny punctate foci in right insular cortex → acute cortical microinfarcts (≤5 mm)
•Slightly larger cortically confined lesion in right parieto-occipital cortex ( → small cortical infarct (>5 mm)

Pearls:
•Microinfarcts: sharply cortically confined, ≤5 mm, often embolic or amyloid angiopathy related.
•Small cortical infarcts: >5 mm but not territorial; often embolic or hypoperfusion related.

Pitfalls:
•Don’t mislabel as “lacunar” (those are deep, subcortical, small vessel disease).
•Easy to miss on DWI if punctate—always correlate with ADC.

Wisdom:
•Micro + small cortical infarcts in the same patient often = embolic shower or diffuse vascular vulnerability.
•Small dots can carry big meaning—always prompt a search for embolic source, AF, carotid, cardiac, amyloid.
