As more pediatric patients are infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, more have been diagnosed with multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Early research investigations into MIS-C show cardiac involvement presenting as elevated troponins, ventricular dysfunction, electrical conduction abnormalities, and pericardial effusions. MIS-C may result in myocardial perfusion defects visualized with nuclear medicine imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), however these perfusion defects on contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) have not yet been described.

Upper gastrointestinal studies are used for the diagnosis of intestinal malrotation, and the configuration of the duodenum and position of the DJ flexure are used for diagnosis. There are various challenges associated with diagnosing malrotation on the AP view, and obtaining a lateral view is recommended for diagnosis. To be useful, the lateral view must be of adequate quality. In addition, radiologists must be aware of the normal appearance and configuration of duodenal variants such as duodenum redundum, on the lateral view, as misdiagnosis of these may lead to unnecessary surgery. We aim to determine the proportion of lateral views considered of adequate quality for diagnosis, as well as the prevalence of a not previously described sign, the 'descending stair' and its correspondence to a diagnosis of duodenum redundum.

Three-dimensional (3D) printed models of patient anatomy are increasingly becoming a component of the healthcare practice of many physicians. Here, we investigate physician perceptions of an in-house high-fidelity medical 3D-printing service in a large pediatric health system. We aim to elucidate how physicians perceive 3D-printed models assist in their roles as healthcare providers and to illustrate how a 3D-printing service may add value to a healthcare system.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, after more than 12 years of in-person programming, our educational collaboration with radiology trainees from Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH) in Ethiopia was interrupted. Similar to many US based programs, conferences were transitioned to a virtual format. Since January 2021, we have offered weekly hour-long Friday Case review sessions to residents and fellows from Addis Ababa University. After the first 4 months in which only 2 faculty members presented every week, the opportunity for additional volunteers was offered to all faculty members and the program continued. Here, we describe the results of the last 6 months of the teaching sessions. Read More

CXR is the most common imaging method to diagnose pneumonia in children in limited-resource settings. There is a need to simplify and expedite its interpretation. By using a machine learning model to first classify and interpret the pneumonia images and then incorporate those characteristic imaging findings patterns into a simulated mobile app, health care workers can use their mobile devices to interpret those findings based on preloaded images built into their mobile devices corresponding to pneumonia.

We sought to quantify the sensitivity of plain film interpretation for rib fractures in patients < 3 years of age. Acute rib fractures can be challenging to detect on plain film imaging and can have serious implications if they are attributed to child abuse. We retrospectively reviewed plain films with known rib fractures to quantify “missed” and “occult” fractures. Read More

Perinatal Hypoxic Ischemic Injury (HII) has a higher prevalence in the developing world. One of the primary concepts for suggesting that an imaging pattern reflects a global insult to the brain is when the injury is noted to be bilateral and symmetric in distribution. In the context of HII in term neonates, this is either bilateral symmetric (a) peripheral/watershed injury (WS) or (b) bilateral symmetric Basal-ganglia-thalamus (BGT) pattern, often with the peri-Rolandic and hippocampal injury. Unilateral, asymmetric or unequal distribution of injury may therefore be misdiagnosed as perinatal arterial ischemic stroke. This has been previously reported in the typical distribution patterns, without a clear indication of the prevalence. We aimed to determine the prevalence of unilateral, asymmetric and unequal degree HII and to characterize the distribution on MRI in a large database of patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP) from South Africa.

Chest radiograph (CXR) is a valuable tool, especially in children owing to its low cost, availability, portability and easy disinfection along with less radiation as compared to Computed Tomography (CT). In this study, we evaluate the spectrum of CXR findings and patterns in pediatric COVID-19 patients.

Children and young adults can present with breast complaints in the emergency setting and ultrasound is typically the initial imaging modality of choice for work-up. While many sonographic findings are benign, there are rare presentations of indeterminate and suspicious masses. In these cases, radiologists and clinicians involved in these patient's care may be unfamiliar with the diagnosis and management of lesions that warrant follow-up with dedicated breast imagers. This study is designed to analyze the common characteristics of pediatric breast complaints from the emergency department and if follow-up care was recommended and pursued. Read More

Point of Care Lung ultrasound has proven in multiple studies to be superior to CXR to diagnose pneumonia in children especially in limited resource settings. This non-radiating, portable and adaptable technique, brings an opportunity to detect pneumonia with higher accuracy than CXR. Ultrasound imaging interpretation is challenging. To deal with this complexity, we created a "brightness profiles" data reduction technique to identify specific anatomical structures identified by lung ultrasound using artificial intelligence. We use this technique to demonstrate how data reduction can help identify common anatomical landmarks and abnormal findings, and aid in the interpretation of ultrasound diagnosed pediatric pneumonia.
