Integrative diagnostics of the gastro-intestinal tract – gastroesophageal reflux and constipation in practice
AbstractCommon disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as gastroesophageal reflux/disease (GER/D) and constipation, are frequent causes for seeking medical support in infants. Diagnostic workup must ensure that diagnosed diseases are responsible for such complaints, thus enabling appropriate therapy. In this context assessment consists of clinical examination, functional tests, and imaging, which should be done in a staged manner. Close cooperation between clinicians and clinical radiologists enables optimal diagnostics, thus forming the basis for appropriate therapy. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Non-sedated fast spine magnetic resonance imaging in pediatric patients
ConclusionNon-sedated pediatric spine MRI can be an effective diagnostic test to evaluate for spine pathology, especially syringomyelia, Chiari malformation, and conus medullaris anatomy.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Evaluation of cardiac fibrosis and subclinical cardiac changes in children with sickle cell disease using magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiography, and serum galectin-3
ConclusionDiffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis can be detected early in children with sickle cell disease using T1 mapping and is associated with a high frequency of vaso-occlusive crisis. MPI of the left ventricle and serum galectin-3 are recommended screening tools for subclinical cardiac abnormalities.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Magnetic resonance neurography techniques in the pediatric population
AbstractThe use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of the central extracranial nervous system, namely the brachial and lumbosacral plexuses, is well established and has been performed for many years. Only recently after numerous advances in MRI, has image quality been sufficient to properly visualize small structures, such as nerves in the extremities. Despite the advances, peripheral MR Neurography remains a complex and difficult examination to perform, especially in the pediatric patient population, in which the risk for motion artifact and compliance is always of concern. Thus, technical aspects of th...

Medial meniscal posterior horn tears and ramp lesions in pediatric patients: lessons learned
AbstractMeniscal injuries are increasingly reported in pediatric patients due to early sports participation and are commonly encountered during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Preoperative identification of meniscal tears is crucial, particularly when involving the posteromedial meniscocapsular junction (ramp lesion). MRI plays an important role in detecting this particular type of meniscal injury. Consequently, pediatric radiologists should be aware of particular MRI findings related to ramp lesions including the presence of a medial meniscal tear, peripheral meniscal irregularity, meniscocapsular junctional fl...

Recommendations for neuroradiological examinations in children living with achondroplasia: a European Society of Pediatric Radiology and European Society of Neuroradiology opinion paper
AbstractChildren living with achondroplasia are at an increased risk of developing neurological complications, which may be associated with acute and life-altering events. To remediate this risk, the timely acquisition of effective neuroimaging that can help to guide clinical management is essential. We propose imaging protocols and follow-up strategies for evaluating the neuroanatomy of these children and to effectively identify potential neurological complications, including compression at the cervicomedullary junction secondary to foramen magnum stenosis, spinal deformity and spinal canal stenosis. When compiling these ...

Real-time ultrasound-derived fat fraction in pediatric population: feasibility validation with MR-PDFF
ConclusionsUDFF shows strong agreement with MR-PDFF in children. A UDFF cutoff of 6% provides good sensitivity and specificity for detection of MR-PDFF of ≥ 6%. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)
