Imaging in rhabdomyosarcoma: a patient journey
AbstractRhabdomyosarcoma, although rare, is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents. It can present as a mass at nearly any site in the body, with most common presentations in the head and neck, genitourinary tract and extremities. The optimal diagnostic approach and management of rhabdomyosarcoma require a multidisciplinary team with multimodal treatment, including chemotherapy and local therapy. Survival has improved over the last decades; however, further improvement in management is essential with current 5-year overall survival ranging from 35% to 100%, depending on disease and patient charac...

Chest radiography and computed tomography imaging in cystic fibrosis: current challenges and new perspectives
This article focuses on chest radiography and CT, which are the two main radiologic techniques used in most cystic fibrosis centres. Advantages and disadvantages of radiography and CT for imaging in CF are described, with attention to new developments in these techniques, such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) image analysis strategies to improve the sensitivity of radiography and CT and the introduction of the photon-counting detector CT scanner to increase spatial resolution at no dose expense.

Physeal injuries of the clavicle: pediatric counterparts to adult acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joint separations
Abstract
The epiphyses at the medial and lateral ends of the clavicle are small, ossify relatively late, and may not fuse until early adulthood. Because of this unique anatomy, pediatric and young adult injuries that involve the clavicle often differ from the patterns typically seen in older adults. Clavicular trauma that affects the acromioclavicular joint laterally or sternoclavicular joint medially often results in a physeal fracture and as such, can go unrecognized or be mistaken for a joint dislocation. Radiographic assessment is challenging, particularly when the epiphysis is not yet ossified. However, MR imaging ...

French survey of sedation practices for pediatric magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging
ConclusionFor half of the responding radiology centers, radiologists performed sedation alone in agreement with the local anesthesiology team. Sedation procedures and monitoring were heterogenous among centers. Adjustment and harmonization of the practices according to the capacity of each center may be useful. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)
