Fibrous hamartoma of infancy: imaging findings
ConclusionFibrous hamartoma of infancy has a suggestive appearance on US with heterogeneous, echogenic subcutaneous lesions with intervening hypoechoic portions, in parallel or circumferential arrangement that can be seen as a serpentine or semicircular pattern. On MRI, interspersed macroscopic fatty components show high signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images and reduced signal on fat-suppressed inversion recovery images, with irregular peripheral enhancement.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of physician lung ultrasound versus chest radiography for pneumonia diagnosis in a peri-urban South African cohort
ConclusionLung US identified consolidation with similar frequency to CXR, but there was poor agreement between modalities. The significantly higher inter-observer agreement of LUS compared to CXR supports the utilization of lung US by clinicians in a low-resource setting.Graphical Abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

The effect of added filtration on radiation dose and image quality in digital radiography of newborns
ConclusionThe results derived from this phantom study suggest that additional beam filtration along with the appropriate leverage of exposure parameters can lower ESD while maintaining image quality in full-term newborns.Graphical Abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the role of Doppler ultrasonography of the superior mesenteric artery in detecting neonates at risk of necrotizing enterocolitis
AbstractThe role of postnatal Doppler measurements of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in detecting neonates at risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains uncertain; therefore, we systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the existing evidence regarding the usefulness of SMA Doppler measurements in detecting neonates at risk for NEC. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, and we included studies which reported the following Doppler ultrasonography indices: peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity, time average mean velocity, differential velocity, pulsatili...

Ultrasound for necrotizing enterocolitis: how can we optimize imaging and what are the most critical findings?
AbstractNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common condition in the neonatal intensive care unit that continues to present challenges in terms of diagnosis and management. Traditionally NEC has been diagnosed and managed by clinical and radiographic findings, but US has shown promise in characterizing and prognosticating NEC. In this manuscript we review the abdominal US technique for NEC, the clinical significance of individual sonographic findings of NEC, and how US can be integrated in the clinical decision process for diagnosing and managing NEC. We also discuss the potential value-added role of a limited abdominal US...

Caution: shortcomings of traditional segmentation methods from magnetic resonance imaging brain scans intended for 3-dimensional surface modelling in children with pathology
AbstractThis technical innovation assesses the adaptability of some common automated segmentation tools on abnormal pediatric magnetic resonance (MR) brain scans. We categorized 35 MR scans by pathologic features: (1) “normal”; (2) “atrophy”; (3) “cavity”; (4) “other.” The following three tools, (1) Computational Anatomy Toolbox version 12 (CAT12); (2) Statistical Parametic Mapping version 12 (SPM12); and (3) MRTool, were tested on each scan—with default and adjust ed settings. Success was determined by radiologist consensus on the surface accuracy. Automated segmentation failed in scans demonstrating ...
