Objectives The purpose was to determine prevalence of enchondromas and atypical cartilaginous tumour/chondrosarcoma grade 1 (ACT/CS1) of the knee on MRI in a large cohort study, namely the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study. Methods Participants aged 45 to 65 years were prospectively included, oversampling overweight and obese persons. Within a subgroup of participants, MRI of the right knee was performed and screened for incidental cartilaginous tumours, as defined by their characteristic location and appearance. Results Forty-nine cartilaginous tumours were observed in 44 out of 1285 participants (estimated population prevalence 2.8 %, 95 % CI 2.0–4.0 %). Mean largest tumour diameter was 12 mm (range 2–31 mm). Eight participants with a tumour larger than 20 mm or a tumour with aggressive features were referred to rule out low-grade chondrosarcoma. One was lost to follow-up, three had histologically proven ACT/CS1 and four had dynamic contrast MRI findings consistent with benign enchondroma. Conclusions Incidental cartilaginous tumours were relatively common on knee MRI and may be regarded as a normal concurrent finding. However, more tumours than expected were ACT/CS1. Because further examination was performed only when suspicion of chondrosarcoma was high, the actual prevalence might be even higher. Key Points • Incidental cartilaginous tumours are relatively common on knee MRI. • Most incidental cartilaginous tumours are small and lack suspicious features. • Small cartilaginous tumours without suspicious findings may be a normal concurrent finding. • Large tumours and/or those with suspicious findings should be further investigated. • Atypical cartilaginous tumour/chondrosarcoma grade 1 was found more often than expected.

Objectives: Knowledge on the epidemiology and long-term course of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis (RCCT) is scarce. We assessed demographics, radiological characteristics, and their association with long-term outcomes in a large patient group.Methods: Baseline demographics, radiological characteristics and treatment were recorded in 342 patients. Interobserver agreement of radiological measures was analyzed. Long-term outcome was evaluated with questionnaires (WORC, DASH). The association of baseline characteristics with outcome was assessed.Results: Mean age was 49.0 (SD = 10.0), and 59.5 % were female. The dominant arm was affected in 66.0 %, and 21.3 % had bilateral disease. Calcifications were on average 18.7 mm (SD = 10.1, ICC = 0.84 (p < 0.001)) and located 10.1 mm (SD = 11.8) medially to the acromion (ICC = 0.77 (p < 0.001)). Gärtner type I calcifications were found in 32.1 % (Kappa = 0.47 (p < 0.001)). After 14 years (SD = 7.1) of follow-up, median WORC was 72.5 (range, 3.0-100.0; WORC < 60 in 42 %) and median DASH 17.0 (range, 0.0-82.0). Female gender, dominant arm involvement, bilateral disease, longer duration of symptoms, and multiple calcifications were associated with inferior WORC. DASH results were similar.Conclusions: Many subjects have persisting shoulder complaints years after diagnosis, regardless of treatment. Female gender, dominant arm involvement, bilateral disease, longer duration of symptoms, and multiple calcifications were associated with inferior outcome. Radiological measures had moderate-to-good reliability and no prognostic value.Key Points: • Most RCCT studies report on short-term outcome and/or small patients groups. • In this large, long-term observational study, RCCT appeared to not be self-limiting in many subjects. • Negative prognostic factors included female gender, more calcifications, dominant arm affected, and longer duration of symptoms. • Interobserver agreement of general radiological RCCT measures is moderate to good. • More rigorous diagnostics and treatment might be needed in specific RCCT cases.

Objectives: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is increasingly diagnosed clinically. Controversy exists about the significance of radiographic findings. Our goal is to determine the prevalence of radiographic FAI types and parameters in a hospital population clinically not suspected of having FAI. In addition we assessed whether pain, age and gender are associated with higher prevalences. Methods: Three hundred ten patients were included in this retrospective study. After applying the exclusion criteria, 262 patients (522 hips) remained. Two observers scored for radiographic parameters. A generalised estimation equation, Pearson's χ test and logistic regression model were used. Results: Radiographic signs of FAI were absent in only 58 hips (11.1 %). In the 40 hips (7.7 %) with cam impingement, males were more affected ( P < 0.001). In the 330 hips (63.2 %) with pincer impingement, females were more often affected ( P < 0.001). In the 82 hips (15.7 %) with signs of mixed type impingement, male hips were significantly ( P < 0.001) more often affected. Age had some effect on the prevalence of coxa vara, acetabular index and acetabular retroversion. No correlation with pain was found. Conclusions: In this hospital population, signs occurred at a high rate. Radiographic parameters attributed to FAI are non-specific. Especially radiographic signs attributed to pincer type impingement have a high prevalence. Key Points: • Femoroacetabular impingement is associated with an abnormal configuration of the hip joint. • The prevalence of femoroacetabular impingement parameters was high in our study population. • The diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement should be made clinically.

- Abstract
Objectives: Apply a modified Delphi-based approach and produce a practical, radiology-specific set of definitions for interpretation and standardization of the multiple MRI findings in axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA), specifically to aid the general radiologist with a musculoskeletal interest, working with gold standard basic MRI protocols., Materials and Methods: We report the results of a modified Delphi-based consensus of 35 experts from 13 countries in the Arthritis Subcommittee of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR). Seventeen definitions were created (i.e., nine for the spine and eight for the sacroiliac joint) and two Delphi rounds were conducted on an electronic database, collated and revised by the project leader with agreement. Group leads were appointed for each definition following the first round. Final definitions included only those that reached a consensus > 80%; if > 50% agreed on exclusion consensus, definitions were excluded. Final results have been shared during the Arthritis meeting at the Annual ESSR Congress., Results: Fourteen definitions, eight for the spine and six for the sacroiliac joint were agreed for standardized reporting. Andersson's, anterior corner sclerotic and costovertebral joint inflammatory lesions of the spine, with active and non-active erosions, and fat metaplasia of the sacroiliac joint reaching the highest consensus (≥ 95%). More than 50% of the experts agreed to exclude joint space inflammation in the sacroiliac joint and tissue backfill. Syndesmophytes reached 76% agreement., Conclusions: Agreed definitions by expert radiologists using a modified Delphi process, should allow standardized actionable radiology reports and clarity in reporting terminology of ax-SpA., Clinical Relevance Statement: The proposed definitions will support reporting from musculoskeletal and general radiologists working with gold-standard basic MRI, improve confidence in lesion assessment, and standardize terminology to provide actionable reports on MRI in patients with ax-SpA., Key Points: Experts applied a modified Delphi method to optimize the definitions of MRI findings of ax-SpA. After two Delphi rounds and one in-person meeting, fourteen definitions reached the agreement threshold. These consensus-based definitions will aid in actionable reporting specifically for the general radiologist with a musculoskeletal interest., (© 2024. Crown.)

- Abstract
Objectives: Tenosynovitis (inflammation of the synovial lining of the sheath surrounding tendons) is frequently observed on MRI of early arthritis patients. Since visual assessment of tenosynovitis is a laborious task, we investigated the feasibility of automatic quantification of tenosynovitis on MRI of the wrist in a large cohort of early arthritis patients., Methods: For 563 consecutive early arthritis patients (clinically confirmed arthritis ≥ 1 joint, symptoms < 2 years), MR scans of the wrist were processed in three automatic stages. First, super-resolution reconstruction was applied to fuse coronal and axial scans into a single high-resolution three-dimensional image. Next, 10 extensor/flexor tendon regions were segmented using atlas-based segmentation and marker-based watershed. A measurement region of interest (ROI) was defined around the tendons. Finally, tenosynovitis was quantified by identifying image intensity values associated with tenosynovial inflammation using fuzzy clustering and measuring the fraction of voxels with these characteristic intensities within the measurement ROI. A subset of 60 patients was used for training and the remaining 503 patients for validation. Correlation between quantitative measurements and visual scores was assessed through Pearson correlation coefficient., Results: Pearson correlation between quantitative measurements and visual scores across 503 patients was r = 0.90, p < 0.001. False detections due to blood vessels and synovitis present within the measurement ROI contributed to a median offset from zero equivalent to 13.8% of the largest measurement value., Conclusion: Quantitative measurement of tenosynovitis on MRI of the wrist is feasible and largely consistent with visual scores. Further improvements in segmentation and exclusion of false detections are warranted., Key Points: • Automatic measurement of tenosynovitis on MRI of the wrist is feasible and largely consistent with visual scores. • Blood vessels and synovitis in the vicinity of evaluated tendons can contribute to false detections in automatic measurements. • Further improvements in segmentation and exclusion of false detections are important directions of future work on the path to a robust quantification framework.

- Abstract
Objectives: To update the 2012 European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) clinical consensus guidelines for musculoskeletal ultrasound referral in Europe., Methods: Twenty-one musculoskeletal imaging experts from the ESSR participated in a consensus study based on a Delphic process. Two independent (non-voting) authors facilitated the procedure and resolved doubtful issues. Updated musculoskeletal ultrasound literature up to July 2017 was scored for shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, hip, knee, and ankle/foot. Scoring of ultrasound elastography was included. The strength of the recommendation and level of evidence was scored by consensus greater than 67% or considered uncertain when the consensus was consensus less than 67%., Results: A total of 123 new papers were reviewed. No evidence change was found regarding the shoulder. There were no new relevant articles for the shoulder, 10 new articles for the elbow, 28 for the hand/wrist, 3 for the hip, 7 for the knee, and 4 for the ankle/foot. Four new evidence levels of A were determined, one for the hip (gluteal tendons tears), one for the knee (meniscal cysts), one for the ankle (ankle joint instability), and one for the foot (plantar plate tear). There was no level A evidence for elastography, although for Achilles tendinopathy and lateral epicondylitis evidence level was B with grade 3 indication., Conclusions: Four new areas of level A evidence were included in the guidelines. Elastography did not reach level A evidence. Whilst ultrasound is of increasing importance in musculoskeletal medical practice, the evidence for elastography remains moderate., Key Points: • Evidence and expert consensus shows an increase of musculoskeletal ultrasound indications. • Four new A evidence levels were found for the hip, knee, ankle, and foot. • There was no level A evidence for elastography.

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate whether intravenous gadolinium (Gd) contrast administration can be eliminated when evaluating synovitis and tenosynovitis in early arthritis patients, thereby decreasing imaging time, cost, and invasiveness., Materials and Methods: Wrist MRIs of 93 early arthritis patients were evaluated by two readers for synovitis of the radioulnar, radiocarpal, and intercarpal joints, according to the Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Scoring method (RAMRIS), and for tenosynovitis in ten compartments. Scores of MRI images without Gd contrast enhancement were compared to scores obtained when evaluating all, including contrast-enhanced, MRI images as reference. Subsequently, a literature review and pooled analysis of data from the present and two previous studies were performed., Results: At the individual joint/tendon level, sensitivity to detect synovitis without Gd contrast was 91 % and 72 % for the two readers, respectively, with a specificity of 51 % and 81 %. For tenosynovitis, the sensitivity was 67 % and 54 %, respectively, with a specificity of 87 % and 91 %. Pooled data analysis revealed an overall sensitivity of 81 % and specificity of 50 % for evaluation of synovitis. Variations in tenosynovitis scoring systems hindered pooled analyses., Conclusion: Eliminating Gd contrast administration resulted in low specificity for synovitis and low sensitivity for tenosynovitis, indicating that Gd contrast administration remains essential for an optimal assessment., Key Points: • Eliminating gadolinium contrast administration results in low specificity for synovitis • For tenosynovitis, sensitivity is low without gadolinium contrast administration • Gadolinium contrast administration remains essential for evaluating synovitis and tenosynovitis in early arthritis.

- Abstract
Purpose: To determine whether T1 post-gadolinium chelate images (T1Gd) can replace T2-weighted images (T2) for evaluating bone marrow oedema (BME), thereby allowing a shorter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)., Material and Methods: In 179 early arthritis patients and 43 advanced RA patients, wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints were examined on a 1.5-T extremity MRI system with a standard protocol (coronal T1, T2 fat-saturated and coronal and axial T1 fat-saturated after Gd). BME was scored according to OMERACT RAMRIS by two observers with and without T2 images available. Agreement was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for semi-quantitative scores and test characteristics with T2 images as reference., Results: Agreement between scores based on T2 and T1Gd images was excellent ICC (0.80-0.99). At bone level, sensitivity and specificity of BME on T1Gd compared to T2 were high for both patient groups and both readers (all ≥80 %)., Conclusion: T1Gd and T2 images are equally suitable for evaluating BME. Because contrast is usually administered to assess (teno)synovitis, a short MRI protocol of T1 and T1Gd is sufficient in RA., Key Points: • Bone marrow oedema scores are equal on T2 and T1-Gd-chelate enhanced sequences. • Agreement between scores based on T2 and T1-Gd-chelate images was excellent. • Sensitivity and specificity for presence of bone marrow oedema were high. • A short protocol without T2 images suffices in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

- Abstract
Objective: To develop clinical guidelines for musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) referral in Europe., Methods: Sixteen musculoskeletal radiologists from seven European countries participated in a consensus-based interactive process (Delphi method) using consecutive questionnaires and consensus procedure meetings at several European radiology meetings. The evaluation of musculoskeletal diseases was established by literature reviews, followed by consensus on clinical utility in three consensus meetings. This involved a thorough, transparent, iterative approach which including interview, questionnaire, Delphi and standard setting methodologies. European MSK radiologists with a special interest in MSKUS formed two different expert groups who worked on reaching a consensus in the first two meetings. The third meeting resolved questions that did not achieve a consensus level of 67% using the first two questionnaires., Results: On expert consensus, the use of MSKUS is indicated to detect joint synovitis, fluid and septic effusion for potential aspiration, and poorly indicated to detect loose bodies. Recommendations for most appropriate use of musculoskeletal ultrasound are reported in six areas relevant to musculoskeletal ultrasound: hand/wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle/foot., Conclusion: A comprehensive evidence-based, expert consensus-defined educational framework on clinical ultrsound is presented. This should facilitate referrals for this important imaging technique throughout Europe., Key Points: Musculoskeletal ultrasound is indicated for detecting joint synovitis, effusions and fluid collections. • Musculoskeletal ultrasound is poor at detecting loose bodies. • Musculoskeletal ultrasound is relevant for most joints.
