Abstract
OBJECTIVE Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses T1-weighted and short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences to characterize bone marrow in axial spondyloarthritis. However, quantification is restricted to estimating the extent of lesions because signal intensities are highly variable both within individuals and across patients and MRI scanners. This study evaluates the performance of quantitative T1 mapping for distinguishing different types of bone marrow lesions of the sacroiliac joints. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, 62 patients underwent computed tomography (CT) and MRI of the sacroiliac joints including T1, STIR, and T1 mapping. Bone marrow lesions were characterized by three readers and assigned to one of four groups: sclerosis, osteitis, fat lesions, and mixed marrow lesions. Relaxation times on T1 maps were compared using generalized estimating equations and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis. RESULTS A total of 119 lesions were selected (sclerosis: 38, osteitis: 27, fat lesions: 40; mixed lesions: 14). T1 maps showed highly significant differences between the lesions with the lowest values for sclerosis (1516±220 ms), followed by osteitis (1909±75 ms), and fat lesions (2391±200 ms); p<0.001. T1 mapping differentiated lesions with areas under the ROC curve of 99% (sclerosis vs. osteitis) and 100% (other comparisons). CONCLUSION T1 mapping allows accurate characterization of sclerosis, osteitis, and fat lesions at the sacroiliac joint but only for homogeneous, non-mixed lesions. Thus, further sequence development is needed before implementation in clinical routine.

Abstract
The evaluation, classification, and treatment of significant bone loss after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continue to be a complex and debated topic in revision TKA (rTKA). Despite the introduction of new evidence and innovative technologies aimed at addressing the approach and care of severe bone loss in rTKA, there is no single document that systematically incorporates these newer surgical approaches. Therefore, a comprehensive review of the treatment of severe bone loss in rTKA is necessary. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Complex Joint Reconstruction Center Hospital for Special Surgery, dedicated to clinical care and research primarily in revision hip and knee replacement, convened a Management of Bone Loss in Revision TKA symposium on June 24, 2022. At this meeting, the 42 international invited experts were divided into groups; each group was assigned to discuss questions related to 1 of the 4 topics: (1) assessing preoperative workup and imaging, anticipated bone loss, classification system, and implant surveillance; (2) achieving durable fixation in the setting of significant bone loss in revision TKA; (3) managing patellar bone loss and the extensor mechanism in cases of severe bone loss; and (4) considering the use of complex modular replacement systems: hinges, distal femoral, and proximal tibial replacements. Each group came to consensus, when possible, based on an extensive literature review and interactive discussion on their group topic. This document reviews each these 4 areas, the consensus of each group, and directions for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gadobutrol has been administered more than 100 million times worldwide, since February 1998, that is, over the last 25 years. Numerous clinical studies in a broad range of indications document the long-term experience with gadobutrol. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to provide a literature-based overview on gadobutrol's efficacy in 9 approved indications and use in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Efficacy results in patients of all age groups including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive/negative predictive values were identified by a systematic literature search on Embase until December 31, 2022. Nine approved indications were considered: central nervous system (CNS), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), breast, heart, prostate, kidney, liver, musculoskeletal, whole body, and various indications in children. RESULTS Sixty-five publications (10 phase III, 2 phase IV, 53 investigator-initiated studies) reported diagnostic efficacy results obtained from 7806 patients including 271 children, at 369 centers worldwide. Indication-specific sensitivity ranges were 59%-98% (CNS), 53%-100% (MRA), 80%-100% (breast), 64%-90% (heart), 64%-96% (prostate), 71-85 (kidney), 79%-100% (liver), 53%-98% (musculoskeletal), and 78%-100% (children). Indication-specific specificity ranges were 75%-100% (CNS), 64%-99% (MRA), 58%-98% (breast), and 47%-100% (heart). CONCLUSIONS The evaluated body of evidence, consisting of 65 studies with 7806 patients, including 271 children and 7535 adults, showed that gadobutrol is an efficacious magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent for all age groups in various approved indications throughout the whole body.

Abstract
Despite growing evidence supporting the evaluation, classification, and treatment of acetabular bone loss in revision hip replacement, advancements have not been systematically incorporated into a single document, and therefore, a comprehensive review of the treatment of severe acetabular bone loss is needed. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Complex Joint Reconstruction Center at Hospital for Special Surgery held an Acetabular Bone Loss Symposium on June 21, 2019, to answer the following questions: What are the trends, emerging technologies, and areas of future research related to the evaluation and management of acetabular bone loss in revision hip replacement? What constitutes the optimal workup and management strategies for acetabular bone loss? The 36 international experts convened were divided into groups, each assigned to discuss 1 of 4 topics: (1) preoperative planning and postoperative assessment; (2) implant selection, management of osteolysis, and management of massive bone loss; (3) the treatment challenges of pelvic discontinuity, periprosthetic joint infection, instability, and poor bone biology; and (4) the principles of reconstruction and classification of acetabular bone loss. Each group came to consensus, when possible, based on an extensive literature review. This document provides an overview of these 4 areas, the consensus each group arrived at, and directions for future research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of single-photon emission computed tomography / computed tomography (SPECT/CT) compared with planar bone scintigraphy (BS) in the assessment of necrotic bone fragments in patients with delayed bone healing or non-union after traumatic fractures. METHODS Retrospective evaluation of patients with traumatic fractures and suspected delayed healing or non-union and/or persistent pain or suspected infection who had undergone planar late phase BS and SPECT/CT between 2011 and 2018. On the BS and SPECT/CT images, a necrotic fragment was considered if there was an area of absent radiotracer uptake (photopenia) related to bone at the fracture site. Histology served as a reference standard (presence or absence of necrotic bone fragments). If histology was not available, intraoperative findings and combined clinical and imaging follow-up served as reference standards. RESULTS In 37 consecutive patients with traumatic fractures (femur (n = 18), tibia (11), humerus (6), radius (1), jaw (1)), necrotic bone fragments were suspected in 11 fractures (29.7%) on BS and in 16 fractures (43.2%) on SPECT/CT. 35 fractures (94.6%) had metallic implants. Histology showed necrotic fragments in 10/11 (90.9%) patients. For the detection of necrotic bone fragments, SPECT/CT showed sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of 100%, 95%, 94%, 100%, and 97%, respectively, and BS 67%, 95%, 91%, 81%, and 83%, respectively. SPECT/CT significantly outperformed BS with better area under curve (AUC) for SPECT/CT (0.9773) compared to planar imaging (0.8106) (p-value < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS SPECT/CT is an accurate tool in the assessment of necrotic bone fragments in patients with delayed bone healing or non-union after traumatic bone fractures and is superior to conventional planar BS. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE SPECT/CT is accurate and superior to planar BS in identification of necrotic bone fragments, responsible for delayed bone healing/non-union after fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of MRI in comparison to single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT in patients with painful hip arthroplasties. METHODS A prospective, multi-institutional study was performed. Therefore, 35 consecutive patients (21 female, 14 male, mean age 61.8 ± 13.3 years) with 37-painful hip arthroplasties were included. A hip surgeon noted the most likely diagnosis based on clinical examination and hip radiographs. Then, MRI and SPECT/CT of the painful hips were acquired. MRI and SPECT/CT were assessed for loosening, infection, fracture, tendon pathology and other abnormalities. Final diagnosis and therapy was established by the hip surgeon after integration of MRI and SPECT/CT results. The value of MRI and SPECT/CT for diagnosis was assessed with a 3-point scale (1 = unimportant, 2 = helpful, 3 = essential). RESULTS Loosening was observed in 13/37 arthroplasties (6 shaft only, 6 cup only, 1 combined). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for loosening of MRI were 86%/88%/60%/100% and of SPECT/CT 93%/97%/90%/100%, respectively. MRI and SPECT/CT diagnosed infection correctly in two of three patients and fractures in two patients, which were missed by X-ray. MRI detected soft tissue abnormalities in 21 patients (6 bursitis, 14 tendon lesions, 1 pseudotumor), of which only 1 tendon abnormality was accurately detected with SPECT/CT. All 5 arthroplasties with polyethylene wear were correctly diagnosed clinically and with both imaging modalities. MRI and SPECT/CT were judged as not helpful in 0/0%, as helpful in 16%/49% and essential in 84%/51%. CONCLUSION In patients with painful hip arthroplasty SPECT/CT is slightly superior to MR in the assessment of loosening. MRI is far superior in the detection of soft tissue, especially tendon pathologies. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE To our knowledge this is the first prospective, multiinstitutional study which compares MRI with SPECT/CT in painful hip arthroplasties. We found that MRI is far superior in the detection of soft tissue pathologies, whereas SPECT/CT remains slightly superior regarding loosening.

Abstract
PURPOSE Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) combined with computed tomography (CT) was introduced as a hybrid SPECT/CT imaging modality two decades ago. The main advantage of SPECT/CT is the increased specificity achieved through a more precise localization and characterization of functional findings. The improved diagnostic accuracy is also associated with greater diagnostic confidence and better inter-specialty communication. METHODS This review presents a critical assessment of the relevant literature published so far on the role of SPECT/CT in a variety of clinical conditions. It also includes an update on the established evidence demonstrating both the advantages and limitations of this modality. CONCLUSIONS For the majority of applications, SPECT/CT should be a routine imaging technique, fully integrated into the clinical decision-making process, including oncology, endocrinology, orthopaedics, paediatrics, and cardiology. Large-scale prospective studies are lacking, however, on the use of SPECT/CT in certain clinical domains such as neurology and lung disorders. The review also presents data on the complementary role of SPECT/CT with other imaging modalities and a comparative analysis, where available.

Abstract
Consecutive milestones in hip arthroplasty design and surgical technique have contributed to the successful and cost-effective intervention this procedure has become today in maintaining mobility and quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis, fracture, or other hip conditions. With the increasing prevalence of hip joint replacements, the need for improved diagnostic imaging tools to guide revision surgery has risen in parallel. Over the last few years, promising data have emerged on the potential role of bone SPECT/CT imaging in the assessment of patients with recurrent pain after arthroplasty. This review summarizes the trends in hip arthroplasty surgery (partial vs total arthroplasty; cemented vs cementless arthroplasty; resurfacing arthroplasty) and prosthesis design (bearing materials; stem designs) over the last decade. In particular, the impact on the biomechanics and interpretation of bone SPECT/CT findings is discussed, with emphasis on integrative reporting in the following frequently encountered conditions: lysis/aseptic loosening, septic loosening, heterotopic ossification, periprosthetic fracture, tendinopathies, and adverse local tissue reactions. Based on the available literature data, bone SPECT/CT is increasingly being used as second-line imaging modality when conventional investigations are nondiagnostic. Further outcome research is warranted to examine whether this technique could be used earlier in patient management.
