Abstract

We report a case of ischio-pubic ramus synchondrosis in an 11-year-old elite athlete initially misinterpreted as a tumor on MRI. We aim with this case to highlight the role of the advanced technique Virtual Non-Calcium imaging in photon-counting CT as a new low-dose imaging modality with straightforward interpretation, even for junior radiologists.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
