Intra-articular osteoid osteomas are uncommon and occur in only 10-13% of cases. Intra-articular osteoid osteomas may not demonstrate typical clinical features and feature subtle radiographic differences when compared to extra-articular osteoid osteomas. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been found to be a safe and reliable method of treating osteoid osteomas. The possible complications of RFA include bleeding, muscle burn, and in cases of intra-articular osteoid osteoma, septhic arthritis. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of intra-articular osteoid osteomas at a single tertiary pediatric center. Read More

Low dose C-arm Computed Tomography (CT), is a technology that uses flat panel detectors to acquire real-time 3D images during an interventional radiology (IR) procedure to assist with anatomic localization and procedural mapping. This study describes our low dose protocol and applications of its use at a pediatric institution. Read More

<b>Pediatric radiology focuses on appropriate and safe diagnostic imaging and intervention in children of all ages. In Ethiopia, a sub-Saharan developing country in East Africa, almost 60% of the population is in the pediatric age group. In the main referral general hospital of the country children make up 48% of the patient population. Currently, there is no pediatric radiologist in the country. The aim of this presentation is to describe the undertakings of the International Outreach in Pediatric Radiology Education Program in Ethiopia of the Department of Radiology, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which is aiming to improve the existing situation. This program is carried out under the auspices of the World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI).</b> Read More
