Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, leading to deformed head shape, increased intracranial pressure and restricted brain growth. The most reliable diagnostic method to use is computed tomography (3D–CT). Aim of this study was to present the characteristics of children with craniosynostosis and to compare US findings with 3D–CT as “gold standard”. Read More

Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common disorder of the musculoskeletal system in neonates and infants. Most CMT patients can be treated with stretching exercise but some patients with do not response to the treatment. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an emerging tool to measure and evaluate skeletal muscle injury. Our aim was to evaluate whether DTI has potential to show the difference in the affected muscle in CMT patients. Read More

Branchial apparatus anomalies (BAA) due to aberrations in the development and involution of the branchial apparatus can present as a cyst, fistula, or sinus tract. Definitive treatment for a BAA is complete surgical excision. The embryology of BAA has been well described, but few reports in the published literature discuss optimally imaging these patients. The purpose of this study is to describe the CT and MR imaging findings of BAA, and to correlate the imaging findings with surgery and pathology results. The goal is to develop a standardized imaging approach and search pattern specific to each subtype of BAA that would answer the most pertinent clinical questions for surgical planning. Read More

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common congenital problem affecting up to 3% of the the population. If untreated, DDH may lead to hip dislocation and premature osteoarthritis. Current DDH diagnosis is highly operator-dependent as it relies on 2D ultrasound. 3D ultrasound offers more complete, and potentially more reliable, imaging of infant hip geometry. However, it is unclear whether 3D ultrasound images, noisy with artifacts and reconstructed by proprietary algorithms from non-parallel beams, give accurate 3D shape information. We sought to validate the fidelity of acetabular surface models obtained by 3D ultrasound by comparison with those obtained concurrently from MRI. Read More

Fetal intracranial volume is one of the most important parameters used in assessing normal fetal growth. Based on volumetric ultrasound (US), Virtual Organ Computer-Aided-anaLysis (VOCAL^TM) is a commonly used technique for such measurement. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers better soft tissue contrast for fetal brain imaging and is considered as one of the best tools for tissue volumetry, and as a standard for comparison. In this work we compare fetal intracranial volumes measured from MRI with those obtained from VOCAL^TM measurements in the same fetuses. Read More

Fractures are a common manifestation of physical child abuse, and when present can have considerable bearing on the legal process. Although the timing of skeletal injury and healing is of great importance in forensic cases, the dating of fractures in the age group in which fractures from physical abuse most frequently occur is largely based on the radiologist’s personal experience as opposed to primary research. A full understanding of the radiological features of healing in infant fractures will enhance the assessment of fracture dating in cases where the time of injury is unknown, such as suspected abuse. The objective of this study was to describe the timing of fracture healing in infants using previously defined radiographic signs of fracture healing. Read More

There is no standardized evidence-based neonatal head ultrasound (HUS) training guidelines within the literature. Simulation models have previously shown to improve resident proficiency in performing ultrasound-guided procedures.

Colonic volvulus in the pediatric population is very rare with 40% mortality making timely diagnosis imperative. Radiologists should operate with a high degree of clinical suspicion in patients with risk factors for large bowel volvulus. Recognition of colonic volvulus on plain film, contrast enema and CT is paramount to work-up and definitive management. This case series is the largest from any single institution and describes the clinical course and imaging findings in cases of volvulus, with the goal of familiarizing the radiologist with the appearance of this disease entity on several imaging modalities.

Increased fracture risk is a complication that occurs in the context of primary bone diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Despite being considered as the reference-standard, the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to evaluate fragility fractures in OI has not been validated by prior systemic review. Identifying patients at greatest risk for bone fragility fractures and determining skeletal health markers that can monitor bone mass concerning response to bone-active treatments are important issues for clinicians. In this systematic review we assessed the clinical utility of DXA for evaluating osteoporotic bone in OI pediatric patients according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines. Read More

The objective of this prospective study was to determine the accuracy of MR Enterography (MRE) in the assessment of mucosal healing in patients with Pediatric Crohn’s Disease (PCD) after starting treatment. MARIA and Clermont scores are MRE scores that were originally developed in adult population for the assessment of severity of Crohn's Disease (CD) in correlation to Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS). MARIA score has shown close correlation to disease severity of colonic CD and Clermont score has shown close correlation to terminal ileum disease. A few reports have shown correlation of mucosal heling when assess by MRE scores and CDEIS in Adult population, but not work is available in pediatrics. Read More

Prior studies have suggested that patients undergoing fetal MRI have a high level of anxiety, while other studies have indicated that patients have a limited understanding of the role of the radiologist in patient care. Further, many patients would prefer to learn their results immediately after the examination rather than wait to meet with their obstetrician. Our objective is to assess patient perception of what fetal MRI is and the role of the radiologist. Read More

Radiographic bone age determination is part of the routine evaluation of suspected growth disorders. Simplicity and low cost are its major advantages but ionizing radiation should be taken into consideration. Conventional ultrasonography (US) has proven effective to identify ossification centers of the hand and wrist between 0 and 24 months of age. It may become an innocuous follow-up tool for patients with growth disorders. We aimed to asses the chronological US emergence of the ossification centers of the hand and wrist in healthy infants between 2 and 4 years of age. Read More

Radiation safety is a critical component in pediatric imaging. In Africa, radiation-safety is championed by the AFROSAFE campaign under the umbrella of the African Society of Radiology (ASR). AFROSAFE was launched on 17^th February, 2015 during the 8^th biennial Pan African Congress of Radiology and Imaging (PACORI) which was held in Nairobi, Kenya. The mission of AFROSAFE is to ensure favorable benefit-risk ratio in the use of ionizing radiation in medicine through encouraging adherence to safety standards and guidelines as per the “Bonn Call for Action”. Through this Campaign, all the radiation health workers of Africa have agreed to unite with the common goal of identifying and addressing issues arising from radiation protection in medicine.

This is an educational poster that outlines the signifcant Milestones AFROSAFE has achieved one year later, the pertinent issues, challenges and success. Read More
