Automated Determination of Bone Health Metrics (Bone Age and Bone Health Index) in Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients
Greiner Barbara, Kueck Fabian, Hammer Simone
Final Pr. ID: Poster #: SCI-004
Bone metabolism in children who have undergone pediatric liver transplantation (pLT) can be negatively affected, particularly in the presence of biliary complications. Pediatric bone status entering adulthood is a critical determinant of bone health through adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone age (BA), a marker of skeletal maturity, and bone health index (BHI), a surrogate marker of bone density, in pLT recepients. Read More

To summarize our experience using Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of the liver as an imaging tool for pre-living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) evaluation in biliary atresia (BA) patients. This pictorial review will illustrate and discuss several aspects of imaging techniques and the important findings that clinician need to know before LDLT.
Key imaging findings for vascular anatomy/collateral vessels will be made, emphasizing what clinicians need to know. Correlation with intraoperative findings will also be provided.

Liver transplantation is a potentially life-saving procedure for children with liver failure. Pediatric liver transplant recipients are at greater risk for complications such as vascular thrombosis than adults. In addition, children more commonly receive reduced size grafts, which alter the normal liver anatomy. While the postoperative assessment of pediatric liver transplants with sonography has been well studied, less exists in the radiology literature regarding intraoperative Doppler sonography of the graft prior to abdominal closure. We illustrate the intra- and post-operative ultrasound findings in pediatric liver transplants, with an emphasis on normal features, common pitfalls, and frequently encountered vascular complications.

It is well known that ultrasound is a powerful imaging tool for pediatric patients after liver transplantation. With proper use, ultrasound provides static as well as dynamic information of the transplanted liver. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to demonstrate the way of good ultrasound examination after pediatric liver transplantation. Read More
