Essr Congress June 9 – 10, 2006 Bruges / Belgium EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL RADIOLOGY ESSR CONGRESS JUNE 9 – 10, 2006 BRUGES / BELGIUM PROGRAM www.essr.org Welcome Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the ESSR and the local organising commitee it is a great pleas- ure for me to welcome You in Bruges, Belgium, to attend the 13th Annual Meeting of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology from June 9 to 10, 2006. The ESSR 2006 Congress will present two days of scientific papers, poster exhibits, refresher courses and ultrasound workshops. The main topic of the educational courses of the 2006 congress will be “Knee”: 24 “state-of-the-art” lectures by distinguished speakers will present current knowledge and future trends in the anatomy, diagnosis and therapy of diseases which are encountered in this joint. Hands-on workshops in the musculoskeletal ultrasound at basic and master class levels will provide invaluable practical experience. Six other half day courses on “Bone marrow imaging”, “Whole body imag- ing”, “Paediatric imaging”, “Trauma imaging”, “Orthopaedic hardware” and “Postoperative imaging” are planned. The contributions of many people presenting papers or posters in all aspects of musculoskeletal imaging are appreciated. We hope you will enjoy the social programme the organizing committee has arranged. We invite you to explore and visit the beautiful area of Bruges. There are numerous places to visit in the old city of Bruges… I am confident that this congress will be both educational and enjoyable. We welcome all members of the ESSR, non-members, guests and companions to this wonderful experience and venue and we look forward to see you in Bruges. Yours sincerely, Prof. Dr. K. Verstraete Congress President ESSR 2006 1 Table of Contents 4 Timetable 8 Floorplan 11 Committees INFORMATION 12 Map of Bruges 14 General Information 16 Social Program 18 Congress Hotels 19 Scientific Information 20 Scientific Program 21 Session Chairs 23 Refresher Course Abstracts 55 Honorary Membership 55 Film Reading Session 57 Parallel Sessions Abstracts 92 Future ESSR Meetings 93 Industry Meets Science Abstracts 99 Scientific Sessions Abstracts 136 Electronic Posters (EPOSTM) Titles & Awards 143 Ultrasound Hands-on Training 144 Trade and Technical Exhibition 148 Milestones in radiological imaging of the knee. 150 Authors Index 3 Timetable Friday June 9th, 2006 -

  • Ottawa Knee Rule: Investigating Use and Application in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital
    Open Access Original Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.8812 Ottawa Knee Rule: Investigating Use and Application in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital Abubakr Mohamed 1 , Elkhidir Babikir 1 , Mohamed Kamal Elbashir Mustafa 2 1. Emergency Medicine, University Hospital Galway, Galway, IRL 2. Vascular Surgery, University Hospital Galway, Galway, IRL Corresponding author: Abubakr Mohamed, [email protected] Abstract Background Knee injuries are encountered commonly in the emergency departments (EDs) in Ireland. Validated clinical decision rules such as Ottawa knee rule (OKR) can be used in acute knee injury settings to reduce the number of unnecessary radiography. Clinical judgment can be used to distinguish between suspected fractures and non-fractures in many cases; however, radiography is still routinely requested. Objectives We evaluated the OKRs in a high-volume tertiary teaching hospital in Ireland to determine whether the rule could be safely used to decide whether patients with acute blunt knee trauma should undergo radiography. Methods This was an observational study conducted in the ED over a three-month period in a tertiary referral hospital. A total of 110 patients with acute knee injuries were examined using OKR. Inclusion criteria included patients with acute knee injuries due to blunt trauma or twisting injury and patients with lacerations or contusions. Open fractures and fractures due to penetrating injury were excluded from the study. Results Fractures were seen in 12 (13.2%) of the 110 patents who met the inclusion criteria. The OKR predicted all 12 fractures. Sensitivity was 100%, and specificity was 39%. Conclusions Received 06/04/2020 Review began 06/18/2020 The OKR is highly sensitive for fracture in this setting and can be safely used to decide whether Review ended 06/21/2020 patients with acute blunt knee trauma should undergo radiography.

  • Asphyxia Neonatorum
    CLINICAL REVIEW Asphyxia Neonatorum Raul C. Banagale, MD, and Steven M. Donn, MD Ann Arbor, Michigan Various biochemical and structural changes affecting the newborn’s well­ being develop as a result of perinatal asphyxia. Central nervous system ab­ normalities are frequent complications with high mortality and morbidity. Cardiac compromise may lead to dysrhythmias and cardiogenic shock. Coagulopathy in the form of disseminated intravascular coagulation or mas­ sive pulmonary hemorrhage are potentially lethal complications. Necrotizing enterocolitis, acute renal failure, and endocrine problems affecting fluid elec­ trolyte balance are likely to occur. Even the adrenal glands and pancreas are vulnerable to perinatal oxygen deprivation. The best form of management appears to be anticipation, early identification, and prevention of potential obstetrical-neonatal problems. Every effort should be made to carry out ef­ fective resuscitation measures on the depressed infant at the time of delivery. erinatal asphyxia produces a wide diversity of in­ molecules brought into the alveoli inadequately com­ Pjury in the newborn.

  • Chilaiditi's Sign and the Acute Abdomen
    ACS Case Reviews in Surgery Vol. 3, No. 2 Chilaiditi’s Sign and the Acute Abdomen AUTHORS: CORRESPONDENCE AUTHOR: AUTHOR AFFILIATION: Devecki K; Raygor D; Awad ZT; Puri R Ruchir Puri, MD, MS, FACS University of Florida College of Medicine, University of Florida College of Medicine Department of Surgery, Department of General Surgery Jacksonville, FL 32209 653 W. 8th Street Jacksonville, FL 32209 Phone: (904) 244-5502 E-mail: [email protected] Background Chilaiditi’s sign is a rare radiologic sign where the colon or small intestine is interposed between the liver and the diaphragm. Chilaiditi’s sign can be mistaken for pneumoperitoneum and can be alarming in the setting of an acute abdomen. Summary We present two cases of Chilaiditi’s sign resulting from vastly different pathologies. The first patient was a 67-year-old male who presented with right upper quadrant pain. He was found to have Chilaiditi’s sign on the upright chest X ray. A CT scan revealed a cecal bascule interposed between the liver and diaphragm with concomitant acute appendicitis. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed imaging findings, and he underwent an open right hemicolectomy. The second patient was a 59-year-old female who presented with acute onset of right-sided abdominal pain. An upright chest X ray revealed air under the right hemidiaphragm, and the CT scan demonstrated a large, right-sided Morgagni-type diaphragmatic hernia. She underwent an elective laparoscopic hernia repair, which confirmed the presence of an anteromedial diaphragmatic hernia containing small bowel, colon, and omentum. Conclusion Chilaiditi’s sign can be associated with an acute abdomen.
