RESUMO
This review provides a detailed description of the imaging features of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and radiculopathy, with a focus on MRI. Where relevant, we will outline grading systems of vertebral central canal and foraminal stenosis. Whilst post-operative appearances of the cervical spine are outside the scope of this paper, we will touch on imaging features recognised as predictors of clinical outcome and neurological recovery. This paper will serve as a reference for both radiologists and clinicians involved in the care of patients with cervical spondylotic myeloradiculopathy.

Extra-skeletal osteosarcoma is a rare malignant soft tissue sarcoma which can cause a diagnostic challenge due to its non-specific presentation and soft tissue mineralisation, thus potentially mimicking conditions such as myositis ossificans. This review will outline the demographics, clinical presentation, key imaging features, differential diagnosis, management and outcomes of extra-skeletal osteosarcoma and serve as a reference to radiologists and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with soft tissue tumours and tumour-like lesions.
