Abstract
Dactylitis refers to a global swelling of a finger or a toe giving it a clinical sausage-shape presentation. It is an extremely suggestive symptom as it guides the rheumatologist towards a shortlist of diagnoses. However, radiologists are less familiar with dactylitis. The aim of this review is to detail and illustrate the main causes of dactylitis using standard X-ray imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in order to make radiologists more familiar with this symptom by illustrating the various conditions that are associated with dactylitis including infection, peripheral spondyloarthritis, sarcoidosis, microcrystalline deposition, osteoid osteoma, and sickle cell disease.

Abstract
Background The microbiological diagnosis of bone and joint infections (BJI) currently relies on cultures, and the relevance of molecular methods is still debated. The aim of this study was to determine whether polymerase chain reaction (PCR) could improve the etiological diagnosis of BJI. Methods A prospective study was conducted during a 4-year period at Lariboisiere University Hospital (Paris, France), including patients with suspicion of infectious spondylodiscitis, septic arthritis, prosthetic joint infections, and respective noninfected groups. Clinical and radiological data were collected at inclusion and during follow-up. All samples were analyzed by conventional cultures and 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) gene (16S-PCR). Specific cultures and PCR targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis were also performed for spondylodiscitis samples. Case records were subsequently analyzed by an independent expert committee to confirm or invalidate the suspicion of infection and definitively classify the patients in a case or control group. The sensitivity of the combination of culture and PCR was compared with culture alone. Results After expert committee analysis, 105 cases of BJI cases and 111 control patients were analyzed. The most common pathogens of BJI were staphylococci (30%), M tuberculosis (19%), and streptococci (14%). Adding PCR enhanced the sensitivity compared with culture alone (1) for the diagnosis of M tuberculosis spondylodiscitis (64.4% vs 42.2%; P < .01) and (2) for nonstaphylococci BJI (81.6% vs 71.3%; P < .01). It is interesting to note that 16S-PCR could detect BJI due to uncommon bacteria such as Mycoplasma and fastidious bacteria. Conclusions Our study showed the benefit of 16S-PCR and PCR targeting M tuberculosis as add-on tests in cases of suspected BJI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypertrophy/signal hyperintensity and/or gadolinium enhancement of plexus structures on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are observed in two-thirds of cases of typical chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The objective of our study was to determine the additional benefit of plexus MRI in patients referred to tertiary centers with baseline clinical and electrophysiological characteristics suggestive of typical or atypical CIDP. METHODS A total of 28 consecutive patients with initial suspicion of CIDP were recruited in nine centers and followed for 2 years. Plexus MRI data from the initial assessment were reviewed centrally. Physicians blinded to the plexus MRI findings established the final diagnosis (CIDP or neuropathy of another cause). The proportion of patients with abnormal MRI was analyzed in each group. RESULTS Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy was confirmed in 14 patients (50%), as were sensorimotor CIDP (n = 6), chronic immune sensory polyradiculoneuropathy (n = 2), motor CIDP (n = 1) and multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (n = 5). A total of 37 plexus MRIs were performed (17 brachial, 19 lumbosacral and 8 in both localizations). MRI was abnormal in 5/37 patients (14%), all of whom were subsequently diagnosed with CIDP [5/14(36%)], after an atypical baseline presentation. With plexus MRI results masked, non-invasive procedures confirmed the diagnosis of CIDP in all but one patient [1/14 (7%)]. Knowledge of the abnormal MRI findings in the latter could have prevented nerve biopsy being performed. CONCLUSION Systematic plexus MRI in patients with initially suspected CIDP provides little additional benefit in confirming the diagnosis of CIDP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To better understand bone fragility in type 2 diabetes mellitus and define the contribution of microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) to the evaluation of bone microarchitecture and vascularisation, we conducted an in vitro preliminary study on the femur of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and Zucker lean (ZL) rats. We first analysed bone microarchitecture, then determined whether micro-CT allowed to explore bone vascularisation, and finally looked for a link between these parameters. METHODS Eight ZDF and six ZL rats were examined for bone microarchitecture (group 1), and six ZDF and six ZL rats were studied for bone vascularisation after Microfil® perfusion which is a radiopaque casting agent (group 2). In group 1, we used micro-CT to examine the trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture of the femoral head, neck, shaft, and distal metaphysis. In group 2, micro-CT was used to study the blood vessels in the head, neck, and distal metaphysis. RESULTS Compared to ZL rats, the ZDF rats exhibited significantly lower trabecular bone volume and number and higher trabecular separation in the three locations (p = 0.02, p = 0.02, p = 0.003). Cortical porosity was significantly higher in the ZDF rats at the neck and shaft (p = 0.001 and p = 0.005). We observed a dramatically poorer bone vascularisation in the femur of ZDF rats, especially in distal metaphysis (p < 0.047). CONCLUSIONS Micro-CT demonstrated not only significant alterations in the bone microarchitecture of the femurs of ZDF rats, but also significant alterations in bone vascularisation. Further studies are required to demonstrate the causal link between poor vascularisation and impaired bone architecture.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate determinants of hip fracture by assessing soft-tissue composition of the upper thigh at CT. Materials and Methods In this retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, CT studies in 55 female control participants (mean age, 73.1 years ± 9.3 [standard deviation]) were compared with those in 40 female patients (mean age, 80.2 years ± 11.0) with acute hip fractures. Eighty-seven descriptors of the soft-tissue composition were determined. A multivariable best subsets analysis was used to extract parameters best associated with hip fracture. Results were adjusted for age, height, and weight. Results of soft-tissue parameters were compared with bone mineral density (BMD) and cortical bone thickness. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) adjusted for multiple comparisons were determined to discriminate fracture. Results The hip fracture group was characterized by lower BMD, lower cortical thickness, lower relative adipose tissue volume of the upper thigh, and higher extramyocellular lipid (EML) surface density. The relative volume of adipose tissue combined with EML surface density (model S1) was associated with hip fracture (AUC, 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.78, 0.93), as well as trochanteric trabecular BMD combined with neck cortical thickness (model B2) (AUC, 0.84; 95% CI: 0.75, 0.92). The model including all four parameters provided significantly better (P < .01) discrimination (AUC, 0.92; 95% CI: 0.86, 0.97) than model S1 or B2. Conclusion In addition to bone mineral density and geometry of the proximal femur, the amount of adipose tissue of the upper thigh and the distribution of the adipocytes in the muscles are significantly associated with acute hip fracture at CT. © RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
Percutaneous vertebral augmentation/consolidation techniques are varied. These are vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and several methods with percutaneous introduction of an implant (associated or not with cement injection). They are proposed in painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures and traumatic fractures. The objectives are to consolidate the fracture and, if possible, to restore the height of the vertebral body to reduce vertebral and regional kyphosis. Stabilization of the fracture leads to a reduction in pain and thus restores the spinal support function as quickly as possible, which is particularly important in the elderly. The effectiveness of these interventions on fracture pain was challenged once by two randomized trials comparing vertebroplasty to a sham intervention. Since then, many other randomized studies in support of vertebroplasty efficacy have been published. International recommendations reserve vertebroplasty for medical treatment failures on pain, but earlier positioning may be debatable if the objective is to limit kyphotic deformity or even reexpand the vertebral body. Recent data suggest that in osteoporotic fracture, the degree of kyphosis reduction achieved by kyphoplasty and percutaneous implant techniques, compared with vertebroplasty, is not sufficient to justify the additional cost and the use of a somewhat longer and traumatic procedure. In young patients with acute traumatic fractures and a significant kyphotic angle, kyphoplasty and percutaneous implant techniques are preferred to vertebroplasty, as in these cases a deformity reduction has a significant positive impact on the clinical outcome.

Abstract
We present a case of 27-year-old female who presented for a progressive frontal swelling with ipsilateral headache. Subsequent CT scan revealed an extradural and expansile multiloculated mass with thin and strongly enhanced septations and MRI evaluation showed internal hyperintensity on T2 with no restriction of diffusion and confirmed the multiple cystic spaces with enhancing septations and rare hemorrhagic fluid-fluid levels. Surgery was performed and diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst was made on frozen section. Identification of USP6 fusion gene by in situ hybridization technique permitted to confirm the diagnosis of primary ABC. Although aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the skull is a very rare entity and accounts for 2-6% of all ABCs, we should think about it in front of osteolytic and cystic skull changes even with very few fluid-fluid levels. Following description of our case and differential diagnoses, we conduct a literature review of skull ABCs imaging characteristics and discuss the interest of USP6 rearrangement identification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy of bisphosphonate therapy on bone pain in patients with osteoid osteoma (OO) (main objective), and to describe bisphosphonate-induced changes in nidus mineralisation and regional bone-marrow oedema (BMO). METHODS A prospective, observational study was conducted from 2011 to 2014. Patients with risk factors for complications of percutaneous or surgical ablation or recurrence after ablation, were offered once monthly intravenous bisphosphonate treatment until significant pain alleviation was achieved. RESULTS We included 23 patients. The first two patients received pamidronate and the next 21 zoledronic acid (mean, 2.95 infusions per patient). Bisphosphonate therapy was successful in 19 patients (83%), whose mean pain visual analogue scale score decreased by 76.7%; this pain-relieving effect persisted in 17 patients (74%) with a mean follow-up time of 36 months. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a mean nidus density increase of 177.7% (p = 0.001). By magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mean decreases were 38.4% for BMO surface area and 30.3% for signal intensity (p = 0.001 and p = 0.000, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In 17/23 patients with painful OO managed conservatively with bisphosphonates, long-term final success was achieved. Bisphosphonates may accelerate the spontaneous healing of OO. KEY POINTS • 19/23 patients with OO managed with bisphosphonates experienced significant pain relief • Pain relief was sustained in 17/23 patients, mean follow-up of 36 months • CT demonstrated a significant increase in nidus mineralisation • MRI demonstrated a significant decrease in bone marrow oedema • Bisphosphonate therapy may accelerate the spontaneous healing of OO.

Abstract
To compare the degree and distribution of mineralization in femoral neck cortex from 23 women with hip fractures (age 65-96 years) and 17 female controls (age 72-103 years), we obtained 3D data by synchrotron radiation microtomography (SRμCT). Variables were degree of mineralization of bone (DMB) in total cortex (cDMBSRMEAN), osteons (oDMBSRMEAN), and pure interstitial tissue (intDMBSRMEAN). The cortex on SRμCT images was divided into nine to twelve 50-μm zones from the periosteum to the endosteum; cDMBSRMEAN, oDMBSRMEAN, and intDMBSRMEAN were measured in each zone. We used descriptive statistics and t tests, general linear model analyses to compare DMBSR values across zones and individuals, one-way analysis of variance for within-group comparisons of zones. In patients, the variance of mineral content value was not different than in controls, but mean values of degree of mineralization varied across zones. These cross-sectional data suggest that bone fragility may be related to a greater heterogeneity of the distribution of mineralization in femoral neck cortex.

Abstract
Background A change of loading conditions in the knee causes changes in the subchondral bone and may be a cause of osteoarthritis (OA). However, quantification of trabecular architecture in vivo is difficult due to the limiting spatial resolution of the imaging equipment; one approach is the use of texture parameters. In previous studies, we have used digital models to simulate changes of subchondral bone architecture under OA progression. One major result was that, using computed tomography (CT) images, subchondral bone mineral density (BMD) in combination with anisotropy and global homogeneity could characterize this progression. The primary goal of this study was a comparison of BMD, entropy, anisotropy, variogram slope, and local and global inhomogeneity measurements between high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) and CT using human cadaveric knees. The secondary goal was the verification of the spatial resolution dependence of texture parameters observed in the earlier simulations, two important prerequisites for the interpretation of in vivo measurements in OA patients. Method The applicability of texture analysis to characterize bone architecture in clinical CT examinations was investigated and compared to results obtained from HR-pQCT. Fifty-seven human knee cadavers (OA status unknown) were examined with both imaging modalities. Three-dimensional (3D) segmentation and registration processes, together with automatic positioning of 3D analysis volumes of interest (VOIs), ensured the measurement of BMD and texture parameters at the same anatomical locations in CT and HR-pQCT datasets. Results According to the calculation of dice ratios (>0.978), the accuracy of VOI locations between methods was excellent. Entropy, anisotropy, and global inhomogeneity showed significant and high linear correlation between both methods (0.68 < R2 < 1.00). The resolution dependence of these parameters simulated earlier was confirmed by the in vitro measurements. Conclusion The high correlation of HR-pQCT- and CT-based measurements of entropy, global inhomogeneity, and anisotropy suggests interchangeability between devices regarding the quantification of texture. The agreement of the experimentally determined resolution dependence of global inhomogeneity and anisotropy with earlier simulations is an important milestone towards their use to quantify subchondral bone structure. However, an in vivo study is still required to establish their clinical relevance.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the performance of three imaging methods (radiography, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry [DXA], and quantitative computed tomography [CT]) and that of a numerical analysis with finite element modeling (FEM) in the prediction of failure load of the proximal femur and to identify the best densitometric or geometric predictors of hip failure load. Materials and Methods Institutional review board approval was obtained. A total of 40 pairs of excised cadaver femurs (mean patient age at time of death, 82 years ± 12 [standard deviation]) were examined with (a) radiography to measure geometric parameters (lengths, angles, and cortical thicknesses), (b) DXA (reference standard) to determine areal bone mineral densities (BMDs), and (c) quantitative CT with dedicated three-dimensional analysis software to determine volumetric BMDs and geometric parameters (neck axis length, cortical thicknesses, volumes, and moments of inertia), and (d) quantitative CT-based FEM to calculate a numerical value of failure load. The 80 femurs were fractured via mechanical testing, with random assignment of one femur from each pair to the single-limb stance configuration (hereafter, stance configuration) and assignment of the paired femur to the sideways fall configuration (hereafter, side configuration). Descriptive statistics, univariate correlations, and stepwise regression models were obtained for each imaging method and for FEM to enable us to predict failure load in both configurations. Results Statistics reported are for stance and side configurations, respectively. For radiography, the strongest correlation with mechanical failure load was obtained by using a geometric parameter combined with a cortical thickness (r(2) = 0.66, P < .001; r(2) = 0.65, P < .001). For DXA, the strongest correlation with mechanical failure load was obtained by using total BMD (r(2) = 0.73, P < .001) and trochanteric BMD (r(2) = 0.80, P < .001). For quantitative CT, in both configurations, the best model combined volumetric BMD and a moment of inertia (r(2) = 0.78, P < .001; r(2) = 0.85, P < .001). FEM explained 87% (P < .001) and 83% (P < .001) of bone strength, respectively. By combining (a) radiography and DXA and (b) quantitative CT and DXA, correlations with mechanical failure load increased to 0.82 (P < .001) and 0.84 (P < .001), respectively, for radiography and DXA and to 0.80 (P < .001) and 0.86 (P < .001) , respectively, for quantitative CT and DXA. Conclusion Quantitative CT-based FEM was the best method with which to predict the experimental failure load; however, combining quantitative CT and DXA yielded a performance as good as that attained with FEM. The quantitative CT DXA combination may be easier to use in fracture prediction, provided standardized software is developed. These findings also highlight the major influence on femoral failure load, particularly in the trochanteric region, of a densitometric parameter combined with a geometric parameter.

Abstract
SUMMARY For quantitative computed tomography (QCT), most relevant variables to discriminate hip fractures were determined. A multivariate analysis showed that trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) of the trochanter with "cortical" thickness of the neck provided better fracture discrimination than total hip integral BMD. A slice-by-slice analysis of the neck or the inclusion of strength-based parameters did not improve fracture discrimination. INTRODUCTION For QCT of the proximal femur, a large variety of analysis parameters describing bone mineral density, geometry, or strength has been considered. However, in each given study, generally just a small subset was used. The aim of this study was to start with a comprehensive set and then select a best subset of QCT parameters for discrimination of subjects with and without acute osteoporotic hip fractures. METHODS The analysis was performed using the population of the European Femur Fracture (EFFECT) study (Bousson et al. J Bone Min Res: Off J Am Soc Bone Min Res 26:881-893, 2011). Fifty-six female control subjects (age 73.2 ± 9.3 years) were compared with 46 female patients (age 80.9 ± 11.1 years) with acute hip fractures. The QCT analysis software MIAF-Femur was used to virtually dissect the proximal femur and analyze more than 1000 parameters, predominantly in the femoral neck. A multivariate best-subset analysis was used to extract the parameters best discriminating hip fractures. All results were adjusted for age, height, and weight differences between the two groups. RESULTS For the discrimination of all proximal hip fractures as well as for cervical fractures alone, the measurement of neck parameters suffices (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.84). Parameters characterizing bone strength are discriminators of hip fractures; however, in multivariate models, only "cortical" cross-sectional area in the neck center remained as a significant contributor. The combination of one BMD parameter, trabecular BMD of the trochanter, and one geometry parameter, "cortical" thickness of the neck discriminated hip fracture with an AUC value of 0.83 which was significantly better than 0.77 for total femur BMD alone. A comprehensive slice-based analysis of the neck along its axis did not significantly improve hip fracture discrimination. CONCLUSIONS If QCT of the hip is performed, the analysis should include neck and trochanter. In particular, for fractures of any type, a comprehensive slice-based analysis of the neck along its axis did not significantly improve hip fracture discrimination nor did the inclusion of strength-related parameters other than "cortical" area or thickness. One BMD and one geometry parameter, in this study, the combination of trabecular BMD of the trochanter and of "cortical" thickness of the neck resulted in significant hip fracture discrimination.
