The purpose of the exhibit is: 1. Illustrate the presence of multiple and accessory ossification centers about the hip that can make it challenging to diagnosis fractures on radiographs in adolescence. 2. Demonstrate that posterior acetabular fractures are typically hidden behind the femoral head on radiographs. 3. Review variant os acetabuli that are commonly encountered in patients with hip pain and demonstrate that the orientation of the fragments compared with posterior acetabular fractures can help to make a distinction. 4. Highlight that a complete pelvis radiograph (AP or AP/Frog leg lateral) in trauma patients or hip pain NOS can aid in the detection of fractures and assess for asymmetry of normal variants.

The incidence of e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury (EVALI) has been increasing since the summer of 2019. At least seven distinct patterns of lung injury have been described with this emerging disease (1). A recent report from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that approximately 15% of patients diagnosed with EVALI have been in the pediatric age group (2). Because of the potential legal and social repercussions of vaping and cannabis use, pediatric patients may be disinclined to admit to use of electronic cigarettes. As such, recognition of the potential imaging patterns of this disease may allow the pediatric radiologist to raise the possibility of EVALI to facilitate timely diagnosis and appropriate management of the disease. This educational exhibit will review the imaging findings seen in the various patterns of lung injury identified with this increasingly common lung disease. We will also discuss the indications for obtaining imaging studies in patients with suspected EVALI. In addition, we will describe the potential clinical presentations in these patients.
