To identify patterns of calcifications and location on abdominal radiography to help diagnose their disease processes. We retrospectively reviewed abdominal x-rays with abnormal calcifications and correlated the findings with additional imaging such as ultrasound, CT or MR. We grouped calcifications by quadrant or diffuse to correlate with the differential diagnosis and disease process. Assessing the location and characteristics of calcifications on abdominal radiography can be highly useful in aiding in the formation of a differential diagnosis and guide next imaging steps.

In the past, neuroblastoma patients frequently had mIBG and diagnostic CT scans performed at separate times. This practice sometimes caused issues in correlating findings from the two imaging modalities. A retrospective review of our entire experience aimed to confirm the added value of optimized co-registered contrast-enhanced diagnostic CT to I-123 mIBG SPECT/CT protocol in children with neuroblastoma. An additional objective was to identify if SPECT/CT improved Curie score assignment vs planar imaging. Read More
