and, thus, decreased pain. Secondarily, reinforcement of weakened bone may prevent further fracturing and collapse, which would be an additional source of pain. Alternatively, it is theorized that exothermia during cement hardening is believed to result in neurolysis of pain fibers, resulting in relief. PET was performed with fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose, which showed an active lesion in the right glenoid process. Thus, this lesion was likely the cause of pain in this patient. The PET and magnetic resonance (MR) studies obtained after the treatment also revealed no more hyperintensity in the glenoidal region on short-inversion-time inversion-recovery MR images or active focal PET standardized uptake values.

Erratum: Intraarterial Therapy for Acute Ischemic Strokes In the March 2009 issue, in the article entitled “Intraarterial Therapy for Acute Ischemic Strokes” (Belisle JG, McCollom VE, Tytle TL, et al, J Vasc Interv Radiol 2009; 20:327–333) the percentage of patients in the results section of the abstract was incorrectly reported. The statement about the percentage of patients who had a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 2 or less should read as follows: Forty-two patients (51%) had an mRS score of 2 or less at 90 days.
Erratum: Drug-eluting Beads for Liver Embolization: Concentration of Doxorubicin in Tissue and in Beads in a Pig Model In the February 2010 issue, in the article entitled “Drug-eluting Beads for Liver Embolization: Concentration of Doxorubicin in Tissue and in Beads in a Pig Model” (Namur J, Wassef M, Millot J-M, et al, J Vasc Interv Radiol 2010; 21:259 –267), the fourth sentence in the Results section of the abstract should read “Doxorubicin tissue concentrations ranged from 0.55 M to 6.80 M [. . . .]” In the Table, the table heading “No. of Pigs” should be “No. of Observations.”
