Why we need to move away from taking pictures
"A picture is worth a thousand words." While that's true for everyday snapshots depicting a friend's smile or landscapes, simple picture taking is no option for medicine. Guest columnists from Austria explain why medical diagnosis cannot rest on a single picture.

PET/MRI detects ‘unknown’ generators of musculoskeletal pain
Potential pain generators were identified by increased F-18 FDG radiotracer uptake on PET and/or structural abnormalities on MRI.
Postoperative 3D volume rendering of the fenestrated endograft reconstruction: 3D volume-rendered reconstruction obtained in Horos using the standard soft-tissue preset. The image displays the postoperative appearance of the fenestrated endograft and visceral stents, extending from the descending thoracic aorta to the iliac bifurcation, acquired during the follow-up CT angiogram one month after the procedure. The reconstruction shows patent visceral branches with well-perfused stents, absence of endoleak, and successful restoration of the previously disconnected left limb with adequate iliac perfusion.
