# Avulsion of the Ossification Center of the Iliac Crest in a Sporty Teenager: Multimodal Imaging Approach with Emphasis on the Role of the oZTEo MRI Pseudo-CT Sequence

## TL;DR

This paper describes the imaging features of an avulsion injury in a teenager's iliac crest using multiple imaging techniques, highlighting a specific MRI sequence.

## Contribution

The study emphasizes the diagnostic value of the oZTEo MRI pseudo-CT sequence in visualizing avulsion injuries.

## Key findings

- The oZTEo MRI sequence effectively highlights avulsion of the iliac crest ossification center.
- Multimodal imaging confirms the lesion's appearance across ultrasound, radiographs, and MRI.

## Abstract

Teaching point: The appearance of an avulsion of the ossification center of the iliac crest is reported on ultrasound, radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with emphasis on the role of the “pseudo-CT” zero echo time (oZTEo) sequence to highlight the lesion.
