Teaching Points 1. To review the normal imaging appearance of the spleen on ultrasound, CT and MRI. 2. Discuss the imaging characteristics of various pediatric splenic pathology. 3. Learn the epidemiology, appropriate imaging workup, and management of congenital pediatric splenic abnormalities. Introduction The spleen can be involved in a wide range of pathologies, yet can be frequently overlooked on imaging. Splenic disorders can be seen in isolation or may be secondary to a systemic disease. Different imaging modalities can be utilized to evaluate the spleen and include ultrasound, CT, and MRI. We will perform a case-based review of the imaging characteristics of various types of pediatric splenic pathologies. After completing this educational exhibit, the reader will be able to recognize the various causes and imaging characteristics of pediatric splenic diseases. The following topics will be discussed: Congenital splenic anomalies – asplenia, polysplenia, accessory spleen Splenomegaly Trauma Inflammation/infection Infarction Hemochromatosis Splenic cysts Hemangiomas Hamartomas Lymphoma Splenic metastasis Read More

Teaching Points 1. Review normal renal anatomy and normal renal and urinary imaging findings in the pediatric population. 2. Discuss the imaging characteristics of the different causes of congenital pediatric renal and urinary disorders, predominantly utilizing ultrasonography and fluoroscopy. 3. Learn the epidemiology, appropriate workup, and management of congenital pediatric renal and urinary disorders. Introduction There is a large spectrum of frequently encountered congenital renal and urinary disorders, ranging from incidental findings to severe, life-threatening pathologies. Recognizing the multi-modality imaging characteristics of these anomalies is an important tool in any radiologists’ arsenal. The purpose of this presentation is to perform a case-based imaging review of congenital renal and urinary disorders and discuss their etiologies and clinical importance. After completing this educational exhibit, the reader will be able to recognize the various causes and imaging features of congenital pediatric renal disorders. The following topics will be discussed: Vesicoureteral reflux Autosomal recessive polycystic disease (ARPKD) Autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD) Renal anomalies - agenesis/ectopia/horseshoe/duplicated UPJ obstruction Posterior urethral valves Megaureter Ureterocele Multicystic dysplastic kidney Mesoblastic nephroma Read More

The purpose of the presentation is to educate the audience of the uses of ultrasound in evaluation of the neonatal spine. By viewing this presentation, the audience will learn the importance of ultrasound in evaluation of the spine. We will review the process of performing the ultrasound examination to acquire suitable images. Assessment of the normal spine structures under ultrasound and discussion of the indications for the use of ultrasound as a primary source of evaluation of the spine are to be reviewed. Performance of the examination in terms of patient positioning, labeling of the vertebral bodies, and evaluation of the important structures will be discussed. Indications for acquiring an ultrasound of the spine will also be reviewed. Lastly, we aim to review distinct disease entities associated with the neonatal spine, with attention to their ultrasound imaging characteristics. Read More
