Two Cases Of Spinal, Extraosseous, Intradural Ewing's Sarcoma/Peripheral Neuroectodermal Tumor: Radiologic, Pathologic, And Molecular Analysis., Stacey K. Mardekian, Ashish Gandhe, Md, Markku Miettinen, Svetlana Pack, Mark T. Curtis Md, Phd, Ziedulla Abdullaev

Department of Radiology Faculty Papers

Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma/peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (ES/PNETs) are rare neoplasms that account for approximately 10%-15% of soft tissue sarcomas in children and 5% of soft tissue sarcomas in adults. Primary spinal, extraosseous, intradural ES/PNETs are even less common. The diagnosis of ES/PNET is extremely challenging, because the tumor can have a nonspecific radiologic appearance, and the histologic features are shared by many other "small round cell tumors." Thus, ES/PNET should be included in the radiologic and pathologic differential diagnosis, even in older patients and in unusual tumor sites. We report two cases of spinal, extraosseous, intradural ES/PNETs in adults who presented …

Dramatically Increased Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Utilization From 2000 To 2009, Especially By Podiatrists In Private Offices, Richard E. Sharpe, Levon N. Nazarian, Laurence Parker, Vijay Rao, David C. Levin

Department of Radiology Faculty Papers

PURPOSE: Over the past two decades, musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound has emerged as an effective means of diagnosing MSK pathologies. However, some insurance providers have expressed concern about increased MSK ultrasound utilization, possibly facilitated by the low cost and ready availability of ultrasound technology. The purpose of this study was to document trends in MSK ultrasound utilization from 2000 to 2009 within the Medicare population.

METHODS: Source data were obtained from the CMS Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary Master Files from 2000 to 2009, and records were extracted for procedures for extremity nonvascular ultrasound. We analyzed annual volume by provider type using specialties, …
