“Bone within bone” appearance of proximal femoral diaphysis in sickle cell disease. This appearance is due to chronic medullary bone infarction with a sclerotic rim (reflecting the new bone formed around old infarctions). The lucent rim between the cortex and the medullary

Double contour sign! It is a sonographic sign specific for gouty arthritis. Why does it occur? In gout, monosodium urate crystals deposit on the surface of the hyaline cartilage within the joint. This results in two distinct echogenic lines: 1.Deep line = normal

Layering or hematocrit level or differential density within an acute intraparenchymal bleed on CT? Think: 1. coagulopathy 2. anticoagulants 3. Tumor-related bleed 4. evolving /expanding hematoma with active bleed. —On-call pearls from my reporting list

Nothing fancy today! This is just a classic case with an elevated posterior fat pad (also called the “posterior fat pad sign”) on an elbow X-ray, with an ultrasound to back it up. —Classic signs in radiology from my reporting list
