mental decline, increased risk for falls, fractures and hospitalization. Even though recognizing sarcopenia can be done through a special questionnaire filling in and clinical test performance, imaging plays a determinant role in sarcopenia’s diagnosis confirmation by estimating the muscle quality and quantity. There are various imaging methods that can be used for this purpose, such us ultrasonography, dual energy-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 5 . The aim of this review is to present the applications of MRI in sarcopenia assessment, by giving prominence to the advantages of this imaging modality, the specific MRI-derived surrogate parameters/biomarkers of sarcopenia and the MRI techniques serving that scope. Abstract Sarcopenia is a quantitative and qualitative muscle disorder with multifactorial pathogenesis intertwining with aging. The negative consequences on everyday life and functional ability are significant and have as final result the reduction of overall survival. Various and advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques make prompt detection and disease characterization feasible, thus contribute to the modification of coexistent diseases prognosis.

bone imaging are dental X-rays, justifying the reason they have Abstract The aim of the present work is to review data of the OSTEODENT project, whose purpose was to compare dental X-rays with DXA results in order to determine the possibility of diagnosing osteopenia and osteoporosis, in advance. OSTEODENT project provided us with up-to-date data which are presented directly and briefly in this paper in order to compare techniques and methodologies that have been used by each research group. Researchers examined pre - existing dental panoramic and periapical X-rays on subjects of specific criteria, primarily women 45-70 of age. Measurements of bone density were calculated on these X-rays using pre-existing classifications, consequently they were compared to accurate bone density measurements according to DXA. Comparing the results, researchers were able to determine the accuracy, in question, of the methods used. These data have been processed by four university institutes in Europe, using pre-existing classifications, yet the aforementioned project provided the background for new merged clinical classifications as well as new documentation systems. All studies agree towards the direction that there is a larger need for further research on craniofacial imaging and metabolic bone diseases.

a normal gait pattern; 5) minimal edema and 6) reducing the chances of a second ACL injury 5,6 . Abstract Objective : The objective of this paper is to study the effects of 12 weeks of pre surgery physiotherapy rehabilitation protocol on the outcome of arthroscopic Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. Methods : A prospective randomised clinical study was conducted to compare the functional outcome after ACL reconstruction surgery in patients who had received 12 weeks of pre surgery physiotherapy against those who had not received the same, based on clinical outcome, Tegner Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC) Score. Results : Out of 30 participants 15 participants who received pre-rehabilitation showed better functional score in terms of Tegner Lysholm score and IKDC score following ACL reconstruction surgery compared to group 2 which is non- pre-rehabilitation group. There was a statistically significant relation between Pre-rehabilitation and better functional scores. Conclusion : A prehabilitation programme emphasizing on intensive muscle strength training, plyometric exercises and advanced neuromuscular exercises gives better outcome than no prehabilitation and should be included in standard ACL treatment protocol for patients undergoing ACLR.
