Abstract

Calcified bodies may arise in a joint due to trauma, arthropathy resulting in joint destruction or synovial osteochondromatosis. These calcified loose bodies may pass into a popliteal cyst though posterior joint-bursal communications, or can arise in a popliteal cyst de novo on account of chondrometaplasia. A case history illustrates the differential diagnostic considerations. X-ray combined with ultrasound investigation will exclude soft tissue tumors and vascular lesions.

[Medical imaging of low back pain].

The indication for a radiological examination of a patient with low back pain by CT or MRI scans is based on age, medical history and clinical findings. The result of morphological (and possibly structural) tests should be consistent with the clinical findings. In fact, the scans often do not provide very powerful evidence. The elderly patient frequently has permanent deformations or primary or secondary malignant bone lesions and therefore requires special tests.
