Ultrasound is the current modality of choice in assessing appropriate renal growth in the pediatric population, and hence establishing accurate and reliable normograms is important. Many sonographic sets of normative data on renal length and normal range limits have been created since the early 1980’s. We evaluate the consistency of mean renal length and standard deviation between these normograms. In addition, we assess the potential role of CT/MR in evaluating renal growth. Read More

Lipoblastoma is a benign, rare pediatric mesenchymal tumor that develops in a myriad of anatomic locations. The imaging appearance of lipoblastoma sometimes overlaps with other tumors. Familiarity with lipoblastoma and a knowledge of benign and malignant tumors with similar imaging features will benefit practicing Radiologists, Pediatricians, and Surgeons. Our exhibit aims to expand awareness of lipoblastoma by providing a comprehensive pictorial review of cases showcasing representative MRI, CT, sonographic, and radiographic images. Suggestive imaging features of lipoblastoma that distinguish them from other fat-containing lesions will be highlighted and an emphasis on the discussion of lipoblastoma within the spectrum of pediatric lipomatous lesions will be detailed.
