What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

MRI of the Achilles tendon—A comprehensive pictorial review. Part one
European Journal of Radiology Open, 2021 The normal Achilles tendon is composed of twisted subtendons separated by thin high signal septae, which are a potential pitfall on MRI because they mimic a tendon tear.Tendinopathy and full thickness tears may be assessed effectively both on MRI and ...
