Case study: Baker's cyst
In a Baker's cyst, fluid accumulates around the knee with the gastrocnemio-semimembranosus bursa, resulting in a herniation from the posterior aspect of the knee, through the gap between the medial head of the gastrocnemius and semimembranosus tendon. Dr. Shamim Malik of Kenya discusses a case of Baker's cyst, as well as the role of imaging in making the differential diagnosis.

Case study: Ovarian dermoid cyst
At the Crater X-Ray Clinic in Nakuru, Kenya, Dr. Shamim Malik's patient population is a rural one, consisting mostly of manual laborers and subsistence farmers. A contrast-enhanced pelvic CT scan runs about $90 (6,000 Kenya shillings). In this report, Malik shares the results of a CT exam on a patient who presented with pelvic pain.

Representative injuries in patients from the mass casualty incident of October 7, 2023. (A) Axial CT scan at the pelvic level in a 34-year-old male patient shows multiple shrapnel fragments in the pelvis, resulting in fractures of the pelvic bones and lumbar vertebrae (not visible on this image). (B) Coronal reconstruction of a head CT scan in a 20-year-old male patient shows penetrating trauma to the left eyeball with a retained bullet in the orbital cavity. (C) Radiograph of a fetus delivered by emergency cesarean section from a critically injured mother shows a left pneumothorax and catheter in place. (D) Radiograph in a 25-year-old female patient shows a comminuted fracture in the tibial metaphysis with fragment displacement and multiple bony fragments in the surrounding soft tissues.
