The purpose of this educational exhibit is to educate the radiologist regarding the fetal and postnatal imaging findings of Zika Virus (ZikV) in order to include congenital ZikV in the differential diagnosis when the maternal history and geography are compatible. We present a patient who emigrated from Central America during her third trimester of pregnancy with maternal ZikV. Read More

Many diseases in pediatrics are relatively uncommon and imaging of these diseases is difficult to study due to small patient numbers at a single site. This limits the ability of single institutions to adequately power a study. Thus, there is a pressing need for a multi-site structure to combine data for rare diseases to appropriately power outcome studies. Our goal is to create an infrastructure to support pooling of imaging and clinical data across institutions to facilitate multi-institutional studies. Read More

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn disease, is a cause of significant morbidity in the pediatric population. Perirectal disease is a Crohn related complication affecting as many as 62% of children. Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is being increasingly utilized in characterizing the extent of IBD. Dedicated perirectal disease imaging, such as a T2 SPACE, requires an additional 10-15 minutes of imaging time on an already time constrained modality. The goal of our study was to determine the best imaging protocol for patients without clinically suspicious perirectal disease based on the incidence in this population. Read More
