DOI: 10.1097/rct.0000000000001757
Abstract: OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the characteristic clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings that can distinguish nodular fasciitis (NF) from myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) because they are sometimes difficult to differentiate due to the overlapping… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1754-9485.35_12785
Abstract: The tail sign was originally described as a key CT finding of pulmonary sclerosing haemangiomas – where a small linear projection is seen radiating out from the lesion. Other findings include a prominent pulmonary artery,… read more here.

Susceptibility‐Weighted 3T MRI of the Swallow Tail Sign in Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Control Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Neuroimaging"
DOI: 10.1111/jon.12775
Abstract: The swallow tail sign describes the physiological appearance of nigrosome‐1 within the substantia nigra on high‐resolution transverse susceptibility‐weighted imaging (SWI). Previous studies demonstrated its absence in Parkinson's disease due to increasing iron content. In multiple… read more here.
