      Johansen, Oddmund; Peterson, Lars; Avenarius, Derk; Knutsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-11-30)
      <b>Background:</b> The autologous implantation technique (ACI) was first introduced in studies on cartilage defects in knees. It has later been used for the treatment of osteochondral knee lesions. The patient presented here had a hip osteochondral defect measuring 4 cm in diameter. He was a candidate for hip prosthesis because of serious pain and reduced function. Being young and highly motivated ...

    • The Paediatric Wrist; Normal Age Related appearances on Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Radiographs. Follow up of a Healthy Cohort 

      Avenarius, Derk (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-09-27)
      A cohort of 89 healthy children was recruited from Tromsø during 2009. All children had a radiograph and an MRI of the left wrist, while 74 met for a follow-up study during 2013. The initial examination showed that all children had numerous bony depressions in one or more of the carpal bones, and that these depressions could mimic erosions as defined in the adult rheumatoid arthritis literature, and ...
    • Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in children – how and why? A systematic review 

      Zadig, Pia Karin Karlsen; von Brandis, Elisabeth; Lein, Regina Küfner; Rosendahl, Karen; Avenarius, Derk; Müller, Lil-Sofie Ording (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-25)
      Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used for a number of indications. Our aim was to review and describe indications and scan protocols for diagnostic value of whole-body MRI for multifocal disease in children and adolescents, we conducted a systematic search in Medline, Embase and Cochrane for all published papers until November 2018. Relevant subject headings and free ...
