Radiologist Wellness at the Workstation: Why Movement Matters
An Interactive Session with Martyna Kosciesza, MD Martyna's personalized approach to yoga Radiology is a demanding and highly sedentary profession. Long hours at the workstation, sustained concentration, static posture, and repetitive computer use can make it difficult to incorporate movement into the working day. [1,2] At Imaging in Switzerland 2027, we will address this challenge with a practical session designed specifically for radiologists as part of our Wellness & Busin


Type 1 Dens Fracture
Trauma due to motor vehicle collision. Diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. CT images of the cervical spine (A) sagittal view and (B) coronal view. What is the important finding on this CT scan? Figure 2. CT scan of a Type I dens fracture. Red arrows point to the fracture line at the tip of the dens. Figure 3. Anderson and D’Alonzo dens fracture classification system. Diagram by Neal Joshi. Type I is an oblique avulsion fracture involving the upper tip of the dens, usual


Traumatic Diaphragmatic Rupture
Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is an uncommon but important complication of thoracoabdominal trauma that may be difficult to recognize clinically. Awareness of characteristic imaging findings, particularly on multidetector CT, is essential for prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, helping to reduce complications associated with delayed or missed injury.


Osteosarcoma of the Distal Femur
Conventional osteosarcoma typically appears as an aggressive metaphyseal lesion with mixed lytic and sclerotic components, cortical destruction, an ill-defined zone of transition, mineralized osteoid matrix, and an associated soft-tissue mass. Aggressive periosteal reactions, including sunburst-type spiculation and a Codman triangle, may occur.


Dislodged Leadless Pacemaker in the Left Pulmonary Artery
Dislodged leadless pacemaker within the left pulmonary arterial circulation. Frontal chest radiograph demonstrates the radiopaque leadless pacemaker projecting over the left hilar region, rather than its expected position within the right ventricle. Axial CT image confirms the leadless pacemaker within the left pulmonary arterial circulation.


Bilateral Facet Dislocation at C7-T1
A 70-year-old female fell off her bed while changing a light bulb and complains of left shoulder pain. What is the diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. Non-contrast CT of the cervical spine. What is the diagnosis? Figure 2. Non-contrast CT of the cervical spine (sagittal reconstructions): Bilateral facet dislocation at C7-T1 with anterior subluxation of C7 on T1. The inferior facets of C7 are locked anterior to the superior facets of T1 (yellow and green arrows), with ante


Bilateral HeRO Grafts
52 year old Male on dialysis. What are the devices? • Xray of the Week Figure 2: Frontal chest radiograph in a dialysis patient . What are the devices? Figure 2: Frontal chest radiograph in a dialysis patient with bilateral HeRO grafts. The green arrow indicates the proximal aspect of the right-sided nitinol-reinforced venous component entering the central circulation via the internal jugular vein. The red arrow highlights the left-sided system entering via the subclavian v


Brachydactyly Type A3
50-year-old female presenting with short 5th finger . What is the diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. Frontal bilateral hand X-ray. What is the diagnosis? Figure 2. Frontal bilateral hand X-ray: Severe shortening of the middle phalanx of the fifth digit (red arrows). The phalanx measures less than 50% of the length of the adjacent fourth middle phalanx, satisfying the Hertzog criteria for Brachydactyly Type A3. A mild radial clinodactyly is present, secondary to the wedg


Arachnoiditis Ossificans
An 74-year-old male with chronic low back pain and progressive lower extremity weakness. What is the diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. Non-contrast CT of the lumbar spine. What is the diagnosis? Figure 2. Non-contrast CT of the lumbar spine (axial, sagittal, and coronal reconstructions): Central pattern of arachnoiditis ossificans demonstrating dagger-like ossification within the central spinal canal at the L5 level (red arrows). The linear, hyperdense bony bar courses


Active Bleeding in the Ascending Colon
An 83-year-old male with rectal bleeding. What is the diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. CTA abdomen/pelvis. What is the diagnosis? Figure 2. CT angiogram: A. Non-contrast images are normal (yellow arrow) . B. Arterial phase image: Hyperdense extravasation of contrast within the lumen of the ascending colon (blue arrow), indicating active bleeding. C and D. Note the dependent layering of contrast on portal venous phase images, confirming active extravasation. Diagnosis A
