Additive manufacturing (also called 3D printing and rapid prototyping) in medical research and clinical applications is expanding. This study aims to quantify the imaging characteristics (Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Computed Tomography scan) of available materials on a common additive manufacturing technology and discuss potential opportunities to fabricate imaging phantoms, which can be utilized in: <b>-Training</b> residents and technologists on the equipment and techniques <b>-Practice</b> for unique case studies and interventions <b>-Planning</b> procedures for complex surgical and interventional cases <b>-Quality</b> assurance of equipment for safety These would be high accuracy and cost-effective models, providing significant savings for purchased phantoms, which can cost over $3k. Moreover, printed phantoms allow custom phantoms for specific applications or anatomy unique to specific patient beyond pre-fabricated options. Read More

<b>Background </b>Leg length discrepancy studies are labor intensive, yet cognitively simple, studies that represent inefficient use of the pediatric radiologists’ time and expertise. <b>Objective</b> The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that measuring and calculating leg length discrepancies do not require radiologist expertise. We hypothesized that radiology technologists could be trained to quantify leg length discrepancies and that their performance would be statistically equivalent to that of board-certified, fellowship trained pediatric radiologists.

3D printing technology presents a unique opportunity for the creation of custom phantoms for training and simulation for pediatric interventional procedures that are complex and/or uncommonly performed. The purpose of this study was to describe the elements of designing a 3D phantom for simulation of pediatric abdominal intra -vascular procedures. Read More

One of the pillars of the American College of Radiology initiative Imaging 3.0 is patient engagement. However, there are no specific guidelines into which interventions should be prioritize in order to maximize the benefits while acknowledging finite resources. We conducted this study to understand families’ preferences for communication before, during, and after receiving pediatric radiology services. Read More

Little is known about how families of children undergoing interventional radiology (IR) procedures experience their interactions with IR teams; therefore, we conducted a qualitative study to explore and learn from families experience with IR teams in order to educate pediatric IR staff and ultimately improve delivery of care.

Effective triage and timely communication are critical for optimal patient care. MSK diagnoses that are considered emergent (requiring immediate attention), urgent (warranting attention sooner), and non-urgent (necessitating follow-up) are not yet defined. The purposes of this project are 1) to define the clinical importance of MSK diagnoses and the preferred communication methods, and 2) to investigate differences between subspecialties and between those with different years in practice.
