Normal sulcation and gyration in neonatal cranial sonography from 24 weeks gestational age until term: a pictorial essay
We present two images for each landmark week of gestation in this retrospectiv e multicentric review. The first image is in the coronal plane depicting the foramen of Monro and the third ventricle and the second image is in the sagittal plane at the level of the caudothalamic groove. The goal is to create an easy-to-use reference for the typical appearance and progression of t he normal sulcation and gyration of the neonatal brain on ultrasound, depending on the weekly gestational age. Having a reference atlas matched for gestational age is a helpful tool for screening a myriad of pathologies and is expected to help clinic...

Factors associated with diagnostic ultrasound for midgut volvulus and relevance of the non-diagnostic examination
ConclusionUS was most frequently diagnostic in patients with bilious emesis or age less than 28 days. Non-diagnostic US for midgut volvulus must prompt a predetermined follow-up strategy, such as an additional imaging study (e.g., upper GI series), particularly in a sick child, as non-diagnostic US may miss midgut volvulus.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Prevalence of incidental sonographic findings of hepatic steatosis in children under 4 years of age
ConclusionPrevalence of sonographic findings of hepatic steatosis in an unselected sample of preschool-age children is 8–14%, and are more common in participants with overweight/obesity.Graphical Abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Tolerability and efficacy of a reduced dose adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance protocol under general anesthesia in infants and children
ConclusionA reduced/incremental dose adenosine stress cardiac MRI protocol under GA in children is safe and feasible. This avoids severe hypotension which is both unsafe and may result in inaccurate data. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Image-guided abscess drainage in children with perforated appendicitis – can it wait?
ConclusionsOur results suggest that time between diagnosis of an appendicitis associated abscess and intervention is not significantly associated with need for tPA, need for additional intervention, drain dwell time, or length of stay. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Prospective study of quantitative liver MRI in cystic fibrosis: feasibility and comparison to PUSH cohort ultrasound
ConclusionMR elastography is feasible in children with CF. Participants with a nodular pattern had higher liver stiffness supporting the US determination of advanced liver disease. Participants with a homogeneous hyperechoic pattern had higher fat fractions supporting the diagnosis of steatosis.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Role of a radiopaque agent and surveillance radiographs for peripherally inserted central catheters in newborn infants
ConclusionPICC tips can be identified without injection of a radiopaque agent. Serial radiographs identified PICC migration over the in situ duration. This study has implications for reducing exposure to a radiopaque agent and ongoing migration surveillance practices.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Ultra-low-dose computed tomography with deep learning reconstruction for craniosynostosis at radiation doses comparable to skull radiographs: a pilot study
ConclusionIn this pilot study, an ultra-low-dose CT protocol using radiation doses at a level similar to skull radiographs showed preserved diagnostic performance for craniosynostosis, but decreased image quality compared to the routine-dose CT protocol. However, by combining the ultra-low-dose CT protocol with deep learning reconstruction, image quality was improved to a level comparable to the routine-dose CT protocol, without sacrificing diagnostic performance for craniosynostosis.Graphical Abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)
