The new detector technology allows X-rays to be converted directly into an electrical signal without an intermediate step via a scintillation layer and allows the energy of individual photons to be measured. Initial data show high spatial resolution, complete elimination of electronic noise, and steady availability of spectral image data sets. In particular, the new technology shows promise with respect to the imaging of osseous structures. Recently, PCD-CT was implemented in the clinical routine. The aim of this review was to summarize recent studies and to show our first experiences with photon-counting detector technology in the field of musculoskeletal radiology.We performed a literature search using Medline and included a total of 90 articles and reviews that covered recent experimental and clinical experiences with the new technology.In this review, we focus on (1) spatial resolution and delineation of fine anatomic structures, (2) reduction of radiation dose, (3) electronic noise, (4) techniques for metal artifact reduction, and (5) possibilities of spectral imaging. This article provides insight into our first experiences with photon-counting detector technology and shows results and images from experimental and clinical studies. · This review summarizes recent experimental and clinical studies in the field of photon-counting detector CT and musculoskeletal radiology.. · The potential of photon-counting detector technology in the field of musculoskeletal radiology includes improved spatial resolution, reduction in radiation dose, metal artifact reduction, and spectral imaging.. · PCD-CT enables imaging at lower radiation doses while maintaining or even enhancing spatial resolution, crucial for reducing patient exposure, especially in repeated or prolonged imaging scenarios.. · It offers promising results in reducing metal artifacts commonly encountered in orthopedic or dental implants, enhancing the interpretability of adjacent structures in postoperative and follow-up imaging.. · With its ability to routinely acquire spectral data, PCD-CT scans allow for material classification, such as detecting urate crystals in suspected gout or visualizing bone marrow edema, potentially reducing reliance on MRI in certain cases..

Diagnosis can be delayed by the broad clinical presentation and imaging pitfalls. This results in a high degree of physical impairment for patients, including social and psychological sequelae as well as long-term damage in the case of delayed diagnosis and treatment.The study is based on a selective literature search on PubMed including articles from 1990 to 2023 and the authors' clinical experience from working in a CSF center.SIH mostly affects middle-aged women, with the primary symptom being position-dependent orthostatic headache. In addition, there is a broad spectrum of possible symptoms that can overlap with other clinical conditions and therefore complicate the diagnosis. The causative spinal CSF loss can be divided into three main types: ventral (type 1) or lateral (type 2) dural leak and CSF-venous fistula (type 3). The diagnosis can be made using a two-stage workup. As a first step, noninvasive MRI of the head and spine provides indicators of the presence of SIH. The second step using focused myelography can identify the exact location of the cerebrospinal fluid leak and enable targeted therapy (surgical or interventional). Intrathecal pressure measurement or intrathecal injection of gadolinium is no longer necessary for primary diagnosis. Serious complications in the course of the disease can include space-occupying subdural hematomas, superficial siderosis, and symptoms of brain sagging, which can lead to misinterpretations. Treatment consists of closing the dural leak or the cerebrospinal fluid fistula. Despite successful treatment, a relapse can occur, which highlights the importance of follow-up MRI examinations and emphasizes the chronic nature of the disease. This paper provides an overview of the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected SIH and new developments in imaging and therapy. · SIH is an underdiagnosed condition with a wide range of possible symptoms.. · The first diagnostic step using MRI provides indications of the presence of SIH.. · The second diagnostic step using (dynamic) myelography can identify the CSF leak.. · Collaboration with a CSF center is advisable for further diagnosis and treatment.. · Prompt detection and treatment of SIH improves the outcome.. · Zander C, Wolf K, El Rahal A et al.

The goal was to use this model to extract labels from German free-text thoracic radiology reports on chest X-ray images and for training chest X-ray classification models.The proposed label extraction model for German thoracic radiology reports uses a German BERT encoder as a backbone and classifies a report based on the CheXpert labels. For investigating the efficient use of manually annotated data, the model was trained using manual annotations, weak rule-based labels, and both. Rule-based labels were extracted from 66071 retrospectively collected radiology reports from 2017-2021 (DS 0), and 1091 reports from 2020-2021 (DS 1) were manually labeled according to the CheXpert classes. Label extraction performance was evaluated with respect to mention extraction, negation detection, and uncertainty detection by measuring F1 scores. The influence of the label extraction method on chest X-ray classification was evaluated on a pneumothorax data set (DS 2) containing 6434 chest radiographs with associated reports and expert diagnoses of pneumothorax. For this, DenseNet-121 models trained on manual annotations, rule-based and deep learning-based label predictions, and publicly available data were compared.The proposed deep learning-based labeler (DL) performed on average considerably stronger than the rule-based labeler (RB) for all three tasks on DS 1 with F1 scores of 0.938 vs. 0.844 for mention extraction, 0.891 vs. 0.821 for negation detection, and 0.624 vs. 0.518 for uncertainty detection. Pre-training on DS 0 and fine-tuning on DS 1 performed better than only training on either DS 0 or DS 1. Chest X-ray pneumothorax classification results (DS 2) were highest when trained with DL labels with an area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.939 compared to RB labels with an AUC of 0.858. Training with manual labels performed slightly worse than training with DL labels with an AUC of 0.934. In contrast, training with a public data set resulted in an AUC of 0.720.Our results show that leveraging a rule-based report labeler for weak supervision leads to improved labeling performance. The pneumothorax classification results demonstrate that our proposed deep learning-based labeler can serve as a substitute for manual labeling requiring only 1000 manually annotated reports for training. · The proposed deep learning-based label extraction model for German thoracic radiology reports performs better than the rule-based model.. · Training with limited supervision outperformed training with a small manually labeled data set.. · Using predicted labels for pneumothorax classification from chest radiographs performed equally to using manual annotations..
