The most encountered anomalous systemic venous drainage is a persistent left superior vena cava that drains into the right atrium through the coronary sinus. A much rarer anomalous systemic venous drainage is that of isolated anomalous drainage of a normally positioned right superior vena cava (RSVC) into the left atrium (LA). This has been reported in approximately 20 patients, with the diagnosis usually made by cardiac catheterization.

We report a case of a five-month-old girl, who presented to our hospital with increased work of breathing, sweating since birth, and abnormal eye movements. On further evaluation, she was found to have restrictive cardiomyopathy, nystagmus, and hypotonia. Genetic workup showed a pathogenic variant in the ALSM1 gene, which confirmed the diagnosis of Alström syndrome.

Background: Bone age (BA) assessment performed by artificial intelligence (AI) is of growing interest due to improved accuracy, precision and time efficiency in daily routine. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of a novel AI software version for automated BA assessment in comparison to the Greulich-Pyle method.

Methods: Radiographs of 514 patients were analysed in this retrospective study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate a novel version of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system developed for automated bone age (BA) assessment in comparison to the Greulich and Pyle method, regarding its accuracy and the influence of carpal bones on BA assessment.

Methods: Total BA, BA of the left distal radius, and BA of carpal bones in 305 patients were determined independently by 3 blinded radiologists and assessed by the CAD system. Pearson product-moment correlation, Bland-Altman plot, root-mean-square deviation, and further agreement analyses were computed.
