Overview

Case reports, including imaging studies, or pictures, that illustrate either important "classic" or novel findings or techniques, provide insight into basic mechanisms, emphasize an abnormality, or highlight a potential new technique or role for noninvasive interventions will be considered for publication.

After publication, the clinical case will be tweeted to engage discussion with the authors and the twitter audience. Authors are encouraged to be a part of this process.

On the tweetbook, the written portion of the case should include a title page, descriptive text of no more than two pages, double spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman with up to 2 references and a figure or multimedia legend.

Motion clips may be submitted in .gif format. Images can be in .jpeg, .png, or .tiff format
