This poster reviews the early origins of the SPR, how it came to be, and who were the leaders who were responsible for its creation. These leaders and “giants” went on to train others who carried on their work and expanded it. Today, most pediatric radiologists can trace their professional genealogy back to one of the original founders of the SPR. As the SPR has grown and developed, it has become more inclusive and diverse. Twelve outstanding women have been presidents of the SPR since 1977. From the original goal of sharing a few cases among friends, it has grown into a mature, scientifically based platform for the creation and dissemination of new and cutting-edge developments in the field of pediatric imaging. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who preceded us; we remain inspired by them; and we carry forward their commitment, wisdom, and dedication to advancing the best practices to enhance children’s health.

Five years ago the leaders of the world’s regional pediatric imaging societies launched the World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI), a pediatric imaging body with global overview. According to its mission statement "WFPI provides an international platform for pediatric radiology organizations united to address the challenges in global pediatric imaging training and the delivery of services".
To guide WFPI's outreach endeavors as well as of other organizations interested in improving pediatric radiology services worldwide a project to better define the needs and gaps of pediatric radiologists and training centers worldwide was undertaken.
The project aims to:
-Establish the number of Pediatric Radiologists (as regionally defined) per country/region around the world
-Outline the training pediatric radiologists receive and availability of training centers
-Highlight major disparities and gaps in availability of pediatric radiologists and pediatric imaging training
-Based on this information create a roadmap for WFPI’s global efforts. Read More

TB remains one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. In the Northwest of England, UK we report an incidence of approximately 1.4 per 100,000 under 15 years of age. Diagnosis and management are subtle and complex. We explain the insensitivity of the screening tests currently available and widely relied upon in the adult sector.
We highlight the importance of multidisciplinary team working exemplified by our Network model in the Northwest region of England. This virtual forum meets weekly and includes radiologists, pulmonologists, specialist nurses, infectious disease specialists and local clinicians. We discuss all new TB cases across the region, present imaging findings and document all decisions.
We review these cases until discharge encompassing imaging findings in the acute disease phase, treatment phase and post infectious stage. These may go on to affect quality and length of life and include but are not limited to fibrotic scarring, bronchiectasis and intrapulmonary/pleural calcifications.
We have extensive data from our virtual network (the largest in the United Kingdom) and will use this poster to show multiple high quality cases to highlight the importance of multidisciplinary team working. Read More

As the regional referral centre for paediatric tuberculosis (TB) in Northwest England, we conducted a retrospective review of referrals to assess indications for CT imaging based on clinical presentation and chest X-ray (CXR) findings. A literature review was performed addressing latent TB detection, radiographic features in infants, the WHO End TB strategy, and NICE guidelines.
CXR sensitivity for latent TB detection is as low as 15%, whereas CT imaging, despite higher radiation exposure, offers superior diagnostic accuracy. Guidelines recommend contrast-enhanced CT when CXR findings are inconclusive or diagnostic uncertainty exists.
Our multicentre review identified CT indications including equivocal or abnormal CXRs, extrapulmonary lymphadenopathy, and suspected airway compression. Integral to our protocol is a region-wide multidisciplinary team (MDT) comprising paediatricians, radiologists, infectious disease, and respiratory specialists. The MDT convenes weekly to integrate clinical and radiological data, guiding imaging decisions and management.
This collaborative approach ensures tailored, low-dose CT protocols with expedited reporting, enhancing diagnostic confidence and patient outcomes. The MDT also facilitates consideration of differential diagnoses, including malignancy and steroid effects.
Our findings highlight the critical role of coordinated MDT discussion and protocol adherence in optimizing imaging strategies and improving paediatric TB care. Read More

At our institution, a pediatric hospital within a larger academic center, radiology residents independently interpret pediatric radiology studies performed after hours. These studies are finalized by an attending pediatric radiologist and any discrepancies from the preliminary report to the final report are tracked. We wanted to develop a streamlined approach to better understand the types of discrepancies, whether there were patterns to the types of these discrepancies, and then use this information to build improved and tailored educational material for our residents.

We used MS365 Copilot/ChatGPT-5 to evaluate fully anonymized discrepancy notifications from radiology resident overnight reports. We had this large language model (LLM) categorize the types of discrepancies (musculoskeletal, abdomen, genitourinary, neuro, chest, spine, and others). We used the LLM evaluate for patterns of errors within each of these categories. Based on these patterns, educational material was designed with the use of these LLM.

Over an 8-month period (Jan 2025-August 2025) there were a total of 436 discrepancy cases identified. Most discrepancy cases involved musculoskeletal (41%), chest (27%), and spine (12%) misinterpretations. Within the musculoskeletal category, most misses involved fractures involving the elbow (20%), forearm (22%) and distal tibia (15%). In the chest category, resdients had difficulty distinguishing bronchial wall thickening from pneumonia (64%). To address the identified deficiencies, a pediatric ED lecture series has been added to the resident education. LLMs are being utilized to help design and focus these specific lecture topics. Additional, refined, and tailored didactic topics include elbow fractures, distal tibial fractures, pediatric pneumonia, and spine fractures.

Artificial intelligence and large language models can be usedl to evaluate data from overnight pediatric radiology resident discrepancy reports to help identify areas of deficiency and improve resident education through design and refinement of lecture topics. Read More

The clinical presentation of neonatal CNS infections is often non-specific, requiring neuroimaging to narrow the differential diagnoses for prompt treatment and improved outcomes. Congenital infections include TORCH infections (Toxoplasmosis, Others (HIV, parvovirus, syphilis, and others), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex). Perinatal and postnatal CNS infections are related to other less common pathogens such as E. coli, Enterobacter, Candida, Parechovirus, and COVID-19 infections.

The imaging pattern of neonatal CNS infections varies depending on the patient’s age and stage of development at the time of exposure. The presentations of neonatal CNS infections include meningitis, encephalitis, leukoencephalopathy and vasculitis with and without complications.

Imaging aids in narrowing the differential diagnosis in complex cases and allows for the recognition of complications. We describe the imaging findings of neonatal CNS infections, ranging from common TORCH infections to rare pathogens.

We provide an educational case-based review of the imaging findings of various neonatal CNS infections while discussing their complications such as arterial stroke, venous thrombosis, hydrocephalus, abscess, and subdural empyema. We will explain the various imaging modalities used in the approach to neonatal infection while highlighting the precautions and need for administering IV contrast.

We aim to establish a systematic approach to the imaging workup of neonatal CNS infections to narrow the correct diagnosis, thereby expediting appropriate subspecialty referral and treatment. Read More

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications for radiology have undergone exponential growth in recent years, owing to the development of large datasets for use in machine learning algorithms and technological advancements in the field of imaging informatics. However, the advancement of AI algorithms in pediatric radiology has lagged behind adult applications. Currently, only seven commercially-available AI algorithms have received FDA approval for use in the pediatric population [1]. One of the major factors limiting the use of AI in pediatric radiology is the lack of the requisite large pediatric imaging datasets.
In AI research and implementation, pediatric radiologists serve as stewards of imaging data. As such, pediatric radiologists should be trained in AI data management, including best practices for the selection, curation, de-identification, and storage of radiology data. Since a necessary first step in the development of AI algorithms requires the curation of large datasets, pediatric radiologists should have a basic understanding of how to archive imaging data for AI research and validation. However, few resources are currently available to provide targeted education for pediatric radiologists with respect to AI data curation..
The aim of this educational exhibit is to provide an educational resource specifically for pediatric radiologists which teaches best practices for data management in AI research, including the selection of patient cohorts, data anonymization techniques, image annotation and segmentation methods, and data storage tools. This exhibit integrates our professional experience, with a thorough literature review of prior AI research, into an educational resource to teach data science methodologies for the management of AI research and clinical implementation to the pediatric radiology community.

International clinical observerships in pediatric radiology offer benefits such as academic collaboration and brand recognition. However, they also introduce additional administrative burden, scheduling difficulties, increased faculty workload for the host institution, and regulatory and financial challenges for observers. In January 2021, the observer program at a US-based teaching hospital's radiology department was relaunched following a COVID-19 pandemic hiatus, providing a limited number of scholarships to medical students, residents, fellows, and other colleagues worldwide for 1-6 weeks. During their stay, observers rotated through different divisions, accessed our learning management system (LMS), and were encouraged to attend conferences and to give a lecture or case-based presentation to the department. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and the impact on the observer’s career. Read More

Primary amenorrhea, defined as failure to reach the first menstrual cycle by the age of 15 or 3 years after breast development, presents a complex diagnostic challenge. From congenital anomalies to endocrine disorders, there is a wide range of potential etiologies; therefore, a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach is crucial for accurate and timely diagnosis and management. Radiologic imaging often plays an important role in this process, particularly in the identification of structural abnormalities and assessing the presence of internal reproductive structures that can guide potential management decisions. In this educational exhibit, we will review etiologies of amenorrhea and their associated radiologic imaging, utilizing examples from our institution. Additionally, we aim to provide key findings and tips that can help the pediatric radiologist have a clearer understanding of the clinical questions that gynecologists seek to answer when ordering imaging for the evaluation of primary amenorrhea.

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots powered by large language models (LLMs) are beginning to appear in pediatric radiology workspace: as assistants for reporting, learning, and patient communication. Their fluency, speed, and apparent intelligence have sparked enthusiasm, yet beneath their polished prose lie subtle but consequential pitfalls that can mislead radiologists if unrecognized.

This educational exhibit highlights the cognitive, behavioral, and system-level risks of using AI chatbots in pediatric radiology practice. Key reliability issues include hallucinations, where models fabricate confident but false information, and sycophantic agreement, where they align with a user’s incorrect assumptions (“yes-man” behavior). These errors are often cloaked in convincing medical language, amplifying risk for trainees and non-experts. Bias propagation from skewed or adult-dominant training data may reinforce inequities, while emergent misalignment can produce unpredictable or unsafe outputs following system updates or fine-tuning.

Human-AI interaction adds another layer of concern. The ELIZA effect refers to our instinct to anthropomorphize machines, creating misplaced trust, as users perceive the chatbot as a knowledgeable colleague rather than a probability engine. This illusion of “seeming consciousness” can breed overconfidence and automation bias, where clinicians accept AI outputs uncritically. Over time, over-reliance can contribute to deskilling, as repetitive dependence on automated summaries erodes critical reasoning and vigilance.

Beyond technical flaws, chatbots also lack true creativity and problem-solving ability. Their responses mirror patterns from prior data, limiting originality and leading to formulaic, conventional outputs. In pediatric imaging education, this can hinder the cultivation of innovative clinical thinking.

Educational goals of this poster:
1. Illustrate common and emerging pitfalls of radiology chatbot use, including hallucination, bias, and misalignment.
2. Explain cognitive effects such as the ELIZA effect, automation bias, and deskilling.
3. Present real-world studies and simulated examples, where chatbot errors could influence pediatric imaging decision-making.
4. Offer practical guidelines for safe, critical, and educationally constructive chatbot use. Read More
