Background: Recurrent subluxation or dislocation of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon from the ulnar groove is an important cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain.

By using advanced image processing, the aim of this study was to increase the value of chest radiographs in the diagnostic work up of neutropenic patients who are suspected of IPA.
Methods: The frontal CXRs of 105 suspected cases of IPA were collected from four institutions.
