Gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI abdomen is the imaging of choice for evaluation of liver lesions. However, in patients with underlying liver dysfunction, uptake and excretion of the hepatobiliary contrast agent is impaired; standard 20-minute delay hepatobiliary phase imaging may be insufficient to characterize hepatic lesions of interest. Our study aims to evaluate the adequacy of standard 20-minute delayed phase hepatobiliary imaging after gadoxetate disodium administration in pediatric patients with liver dysfunction. A secondary objective is to assess the utility of hepatic function laboratory values as a screening tool to identify patients with impaired hepatobiliary excretion in whom hepatobiliary phase imaging at 20 minutes may be inadequate.

Firework-related injuries are a serious cause of morbidity and permanent disability in children and young adults. Data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) suggests firework-related injuries are on the rise, following a long-term trend from 2008 to 2023. The pediatric population is an especially vulnerable population, representing a substantial number of emergency department visits for treatment of firework-related injuries. We performed a retrospective review using PACS to identify firework-related injuries from years 2020-2024 at our institution–a level 1 trauma center. We identified 28 cases ranging from minor to severe injuries, most commonly involving the hands, ears, and eyes. This educational exhibit will provide images of common firework-related injury patterns and accompanying hospitalization data from the cases compiled in our review. Read More
