Interactive Atlas of Signs in Musculoskeletal Radiology This link opens in a new windowMultiple signs are described in the literature. The recognition of these signs allows the radiologist to make a specific diagnosis or give a brief differential diagnosis. We created an atlas of common and not so common signs used in Musculoskeletal Radiology. This atlas can be reviewed by sign name, pathological diagnosis or locations. These signs are illustrated with radiographs and diagrams. The references are linked to PubMed, allowing the user to have immediate access to the abstract, if available. This atlas includes: anterior drawer sign, blade of grass sign, bone in bone sign, bow tie sign, Boutonniere deformity, brim sign, cortical ring sign, cotton wool sign, crescent sign, double PCL sign, elbow fat pad sign, FBI sign, fish vertebra, heel pad sign, Hill-Sachs sign, inverted Napoleon hat sign, ivory vertebra sign, pneumoarthrogram sign, pronator sign, rim sign, Rugger Jersey sign, Scotty dog sign, swan neck deformity, tear drop sign, Terry-Thomas sign, tooth sign, track sign, vacuum phenomenon, and more.
