Objective To explore the imaging findings and diagnostic values of X-ray, CT, MR,and ultrasonography in traumatic knee joints hemarthrosis and lipohemarthrosis. Methods Traumatic knee joints hemarthrosis (12 knees) and lipohemarthrosis (18 knees) proved by operation (27 knees) or puncturation (3 knees) were included in the study. Horizontal-beam plain radiographs (16 knees), CT (30 knees), MRI (30 knees) and ultrasonography (24 knees) in supine position were investigated. Results (1)supine position horizontal-beam plain radiographs: Fat-liquid layer was found in 8 cases of lipohemarthrosis. Dense supragenual bursa was found in 1 case of lipohemarthrosis and 7 cases of hemarthrosis. Fracture (13 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (2) CT findings: double fluid-fluid layer was found in 11 of all 18 cases, and single fluid-fluid layer was found in 7 of 11 cases of lipohemarthrosis. Single fluid-fluid layer was found in 3 of 12 cases of hemarthrosis. Isodensity was detected in 9 cases, and high-density blood clot was found in 4 cases. Fracture (30 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (3) MRI findings: in 12 of 18 cases of lipohemarthrosis, double fluid-fluid layer was shown including supernatant layer as short T1, long T2signal and low signal after fat-suppression, middle layer as long T1, long T2 signal and high signal after fat-suppression, and dependent layer as iso-T1, iso-T2 and slight high signal after fat-suppression. Single fluid-fluid layer was seen in 6 cases, only had aforementioned upper and under layer.Only aforementioned supernatant layer and dependent layer were seen in 12 cases of hemarthrosis. 4 cases showed entire blood clot in fluid, T1WI showed middle signal or center iso-signal accompanied with peripheral high signal ring, and fat-suppression imaging showed high signal. T2WI and fat-suppressionimaging showed middling or high signal accompanied with peripheral low signal ring. Fracture (30 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (4) Ultrasound findings: In 10 of 14 cases of lipohemarthrosis, double fluid-fluid level was shown, supernatant layer as equal echo, middle layer as echoless, and dependent layer as cloudy echo. Four cases with single fluid-fluid level only showed aforementioned upper and under layer. Three of 10 cases of hemarthrosis showed single fluid-fluid level, only showing aforementioned upper and under layer,and 7 cases showed cloudy echo and float. In 3 cases the fluid blood clot showed irregular shape low-equal echo bolus. No fracture hne was found. Conclusions CT can clearly detect fracture line, hemarthrosis and lipohemarthresis, and can substitute plain radiography. MRI is the best way to diagnose hemarthresis and lipohemarthrosis. Ultrasonography can be used in diagnosing hemarthresis and lipohemarthrosis but not helpful in the diagnosis of fracture.

Chinese Medical Ethics 2024;37(9):1061-1067
With the rapid development and widespread application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, it has brought convenience to people’s lives and work, while bringing a series of ethical challenges such as lack of transparency, privacy leakage, limited autonomy in decision-making, and blurred responsibility attribution. By comparing the ethical risk governance of the application of AI in the medical field, this paper systematically analyzed 30 policy regulations issued by 10 countries and international organizations, revealing the consensus and differences in ethical governance of medical AI internationally. The results showed that transparency, fairness and justice, non-harm, privacy protection, freedom and autonomy, responsibility, and people-oriented principles were seven internationally recognized ethical principles, providing important guidance for building a safe, trustworthy, and humane-respecting medical AI ecosystem. In addition, this paper deeply compared the risk assessment methods in the guidelines of China, the United States, and the European Union, as well as found differences in risk types, risk grading, and risk assessment process standards. These differences not only reflect diversities in different cultural, legal backgrounds, and regulatory concepts, but also highlight the necessity of strengthening international cooperation in the context of globalization. Therefore, it is recommended to develop ethical risk governance standards and norms for medical AI that applicable to China’s national conditions. Based on drawing on international experience, proactively carry out risk assessments, reduce ethical challenges, and promote the healthy and rational application of medical AI technology.
