Radek Hlaváček, Jiří Jandura, Milan Vajda, Radka Dvořáková, Michal Čech, Vendelín Chovanec, Jiří Vaňásek, Petr Hoffmann, Pavel Ryška

Ces radiol. 2025, 79(4):261-267 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2025/030  

This article provides a comprehensive overview of current insights into facet osteoarthritis as a significant yet often overlooked cause of chronic spinal pain. It emphasizes the importance of combining morphological and functional imaging techniques for accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy. Radiofrequency ablation and oxygen-ozone therapy appear to be effective treatment options, particularly in patients with back and neck pain related to facet joint pathology. The article aims to enhance understanding of this condition and support broader implementation of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in clinical practice.

Mohsen Gomaa Hassan Ismail, Rasha Salah-Eldin Hussien, Basant Mohamed Raief Mosaad, Arwa Adel Mahmoud Hendy

Ces radiol. 2025, 79(4):317-326 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2025/028  

The prevalence of adnexal masses leads to a substantial clinical burden in the areas of pathology, surgery, and diagnostic imaging. Ovarian-Adnexal-Reporting-and-Data System "O-RADS™" MRI, is an acronym for an O-RADSTM. It will serve as a quality assurance tool for risk stratification classification of adnexal lesions, improving communication between the referring and interpreting staff with a dependable method to distinguish between a benign and a malignant adnexal mass.
