Insights Into Imaging

🫀 Cine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with strain and hemodynamic force analysis improves detection of constrictive physiology in pericarditis.

📉 Reduced left ventricular strain and apical–basal hemodynamic forces in constrictive physiology
📊 Combined metrics improved diagnostic accuracy compared with single parameters
📚 Enables quantitative assessment using routine cine imaging without additional sequences

Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer can induce imaging-detectable changes in the temporomandibular joint complex.

📊 Muscle signal abnormalities, atrophy, hypertrophy, and condylar changes reported on imaging
😣 Trismus observed in nearly half of patients, affecting jaw function and daily activities
📚 Evidence remains limited, heterogeneous, and retrospective
