INTRO TO PATHOLOGY
This is a localized, usually encapsulated, collection of pus.
WHAT IS AN ABSCESS.
Ankylosing Spondylitis takes on this imaging appearance.
WHAT IS BAMBOO SPINE.
Described as a posterior defect of the spinal canal resulting from failure of the posterior elements to fuse properly.
WHAT IS SPINA BIFIDA.
The equivalent of osteomalacia in infants and children.
WHAT IS RICKETS.
This classic pattern is seen on radiographs showing Osteosarcoma.
WHAT IS THE "SUNBURST PATTERN".
This is an accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluid in the intercellular tissue spaces or body cavities.
WHAT IS EDEMA.
When diagnosing osteomyelitis, this modality can detect very early onset.
WHAT IS NUCLEAR MEDICINE.
Pathology also known as "marble bone disease".
WHAT IS OSTEOPETROSIS.
“Cotton-wool” appearance is associated with this pathology.
WHAT IS PAGET DISEASE.
Characteristic radiographic appearance of multiple large bubbles separated by thin strips of bone.
WHAT IS GIANT CELL TUMOUR.
This is a non-measurable feeling/description or a subjective manifestation.
WHAT IS A SYMPTOM.
For this pathology, articular ends of the bones become increasingly dense.
WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS.
Large heads with bulging forehead, saddle nose, shortened long bones and large buttocks are characteristics of this pathology.
WHAT IS ACHONDROPLASIA.
Decreased bone density of vertebral bodies may cause compression fractures when this pathology is present.
WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS.
The long axis of the tumour characteristically runs parallel to the parent bone and points away from the nearest joint.
WHAT IS OSTEOCHONDROMA.
WHAT IS BORDER OR DEMARCATION.
Bone fragmentation at the tibial tuberosity may be evident 3 to 4 weeks after the onset.
WHAT IS OSGOOD SCHLATTER DISEASE.
AP Pelvis and Bilateral Frog Leg projections are helpful when diagnosing this pathology.
WHAT IS DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA OF THE HIP (DDH).
Sharply marginated, punched-out defects at the joint and “rat bite” erosions appear on imaging for this pathology.
WHAT IS GOUT.
Multiple "punched out" osteolytic lesions is characteristic of this pathology and is seen best on a _______ view.
WHAT IS MULTIPLE MYELOMA AND LATERAL VIEW.
This modality is the gold standard for diagnosing certain vascular pathologies including pulmonary embolisms, aortic dissections, and aneurysms.
The ball-catcher’s position is used to diagnose what pathology when _____ _____ is present on imaging?
WHAT IS RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND MARGINAL EROSIONS.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta my also be referred to as what?
WHAT IS "BRITTLE BONE DISEASE".
Described as idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral epiphysis in children.
WHAT IS LEGG-CALVE-PERTHES DISEASE (LCPD).
Detection of these slow growing, benign skull tumours may be incidental on radiographs taken because of the pain produced by bone expansion.
WHAT IS OSTEOMA.
