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

Despite the global surge in adoption of Positron Emission Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) in healthcare, a formal educational framework for pediatric PET/MRI is lacking. The study aimed to conduct and report a needs assessment of pediatric radiology fellows, informing the development and implementation of a peer-reviewed pediatric PET/MRI curriculum and library.

Many academic radiology leaders now equally value contributions to education and research in their departments. Whereby research generates publications and grants, the accolades from education may be less completely captured in a curriculum vitae (CV). We present a system that collects, organizes, and showcases a real-time record of the radiologist’s education portfolio to guide faculty development and academic promotion. Read More

The aim of this study was to examine trends in physicians in diagnostic and pediatric radiology with subset analysis of female representation within these specialties in the United States between 2017 and 2024. We sought to assess changes in the proportion of radiologists, identify growth or decline patterns, and analyze potential factors contributing to the observed trends. Read More

Pediatric radiology education research plays a vital role in developing the next generation of competent pediatric radiologists by identifying learning barriers and developing innovative teaching approaches. Despite the growing volume of publications in this field, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis has been conducted to date. This study examines publications in four radiology journals publishing radiology education research papers to identify the current trends and leading institutions and emerging trends. Read More
