Patients with congenital cardiac disease are a vulnerable population who require early and repeat CT imaging. However, decreasing ionizing radiation dose in pediatric CT increases image noise. We evaluated a self-supervised deep learning denoising model integrating sparse coding with a modified Vision Transformer (SC-mViT) compared with a non-local means (NLM) algorithm using quantitative and qualitative metrics.

Bone metabolism in children who have undergone pediatric liver transplantation (pLT) can be negatively affected, particularly in the presence of biliary complications. Pediatric bone status entering adulthood is a critical determinant of bone health through adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone age (BA), a marker of skeletal maturity, and bone health index (BHI), a surrogate marker of bone density, in pLT recepients. Read More

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is involved in approximately 40% of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but its involvement can be silent, without obvious clinical findings. Contrast-enhanced MRI is therefore key for diagnosis and follow-up of patients, remaining the diagnostic gold standard, as it is able to evaluate both inflammatory and osteochondral changes. Improving the quantitative evaluation of mandibular condylar morphology and radiomic features on MRI has immense practical utility for clinical management decisions in JIA. In this study we evaluated the potential of automated machine learning-based segmentation of the condylar head when applied to routinely acquired TMJ MRI exams. Read More

Clinical decision support (CDS) may positively affect patient care in radiology by encouraging high-value imaging, usually via society guidelines. Given recent national initiatives for high-value imaging, imaging-related CDS was deployed by many hospital systems. Existing studies show modest reduction in low-utility imaging following CDS implementation. With the adoption of pediatric-specific imaging guidelines at our institution, we seek to evaluate the direct impact of CDS on clinician orders, particularly in the emergency department (ED).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exams can be anxiety-provoking for children, often requiring sedation or anesthesia to ensure completion of the scan. Sedation presents disadvantages including physiological side effects, logistical challenges, prolonged waiting times, and higher costs. Furthermore, some medical facilities lack sedation infrastructures, necessitating longer travel for MRI appointments. Read More

Placental insufficiency represents a major challenge in obstetrics, leading to FGR, preeclampsia, and stillbirth. Diagnosis is often delayed until significant fetal compromise has occurred, highlighting an urgent need to develop non-invasive tools for earlier detection. The guinea pig is an ideal translational model, sharing human-like hemomonochorial placentation, but longitudinal assessment remains challenging. We have previously demonstrated the feasibility of terminal CEUS to assess maternal and fetal placental circulation, a critical gap remains in tracking placental changes throughout gestation. The goal of this study was to establish and demonstrate the feasibility of a reproducible protocol for longitudinal multimodal US to characterize the normal temporal evolution of the placenta and its vasculature in a control cohort. This work focuses on acquiring B-mode, Color/Power Doppler, Spectral Doppler, and SWE data across gestation. Read More

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.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, aggressive sarcoma of the Ewing’s sarcoma family with the presence of EWSR1 gene mutation. It predominantly affects adolescent males. DSRCT typically arises from peritoneal or pelvic serosal surfaces and often presents at an advanced stage. Because symptoms are vague, imaging plays a crucial role in early recognition. We review the CECT findings of pediatric patients of DSRCT who were managed at our institute. Read More

Choice of contrast for pediatric upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) is variable. While radiologists prefer the density of barium, surgeons prefer water soluble contrast. Diluting water-soluble contrast makes it nearly iso-osmotic, reducing the risk of electrolyte disturbance, but does dilution impair diagnostic accuracy? Does the contrast agent affect duodenal distention? Does the amount of bowel gas affect perceived density? Read More

Pediatric ovarian malignancies account for 3–8% of childhood ovarian masses. Accurate preoperative risk stratification is vital to balance fertility preservation against timely oncologic treatment. While the American College of Radiology Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (ACR O-RADS) is validated in adults, there are few studies investigating its diagnostic accuracy in the pediatric population. This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy and inter-observer agreement of ultrasound O-RADS in pediatric ovarian and adnexal masses. Read More

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) results from left renal vein (LRV) compression, typically between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery. The use of ultrasonography (US) to aid in diagnosis can be challenging due to the dynamic nature of the nutcracker phenomenon (NCP) and variability of symptoms, which can fluctuate with changes in patient posture and respiration. Moreover, defining a reliable Doppler threshold in children remains underexplored. This study explores the added utility of Doppler peak systolic velocity (PSV) ratio to LRV diameters in the evaluation of suspected NCS. Read More

Children with suspected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) often undergo both anteroposterior (AP) and frog-leg lateral (FL) radiographs of the hips to derive their associated acetabular indices (AI) in gauging the maturity and development of their hips. Unfortunately, when the AP view is suboptimally positioned, repeat imaging is often necessary, resulting in additional radiation exposure. This study aims to determine whether FL radiographs are equivalent to AP radiographs for measuring AI in children being evaluated for suspected DDH. Read More

Subperiosteal new bone formation (SPNBF) is a physiological phenomenon during normal osseous development which also has pathological causes, including healing fractures. Distinguishing between physiological and pathological SPNBF in cases of suspected physical abuse is critical. It has been reported from analogue radiographs that SPNBF above 2 mm in infants over 4 months of age should raise the suspicion of pathology. We sought to refine this using higher resolution modern digital imaging, given the implications for both clinical and medicolegal practice in cases of suspected physical abuse. Read More

Diagnostic performance of arthrographic and non-arthrographic MRI in detecting hip labral tears has been well studied in adults but remains relatively unexplored in pediatric patients. Particularly, it is unclear if one protocol is better suited for individuals with pre-existing hip pathology (defined in this study as hip dysplasia, femoroacetabular impingement, or Perthes) that predisposes to labral abnormalities, compared to acquired or traumatic hip pathology. Thus, we aimed to compare performance of non-arthrographic and arthrographic MRIs for identifying labral tears in children with and without underlying hip abnormalities. Read More

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy achieves remission in 80–90% of children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but only 20% in pediatric patients with solid tumors. Identifying early biomarkers of response could allow timely interventions for non-responders and support the optimization of effective combination therapies. The spleen plays a central role in immune regulation and lymphocyte trafficking, potentially affecting CAR T-cell expansion, persistence, and toxicity risk. The purpose of our study was to explore if pre treatment spleen to liver SUV ratio (SLR) measured on 18FDG PET/MR may correlate with their treatment outcomes. Read More
