Alleviating radiologists' childcare woes: A roadmap for the 21st century.

This manuscript illuminates the need for childcare support for trainees and faculty in the field of radiology, highlighting the essential need for access, affordability, and high-quality childcare services. For over four decades, women radiologists have voiced the challenges of meeting both childcare and professional responsibilities. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted systemic inadequacies in the childcare infrastructure, exacerbating the challenges of this long-standing balancing act.

Complications of Cancer Therapy in Children: A Comprehensive Review of Body Imaging Findings.

Complications of cancer therapy in children can result in a spectrum of toxicities that can affect any organ system and result in a range of morbidity. Complications may occur at the initiation of therapy or years following treatment. Although childhood cancer remains rare, increasing survival rates means more children are living longer following their treatment.

Complications of Cancer Therapy in Children: A Comprehensive Review of Neuroimaging Findings.

Complications of cancer therapy in children can result in a spectrum of neurologic toxicities that may occur at the initiation of therapy or months to years after treatment. Although childhood cancer remains rare, increasing survival rates mean that more children will be living longer after cancer treatment. Therefore, complications of cancer therapy will most likely occur with increasing frequency.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Skeletal Dysplasias: What Can CT Do for You?

Skeletal dysplasias (SDs) are a heterogeneous group of heritable disorders that affect development of bone and cartilage. Because each SD is individually rare and because of the heterogeneity within and among disorders, prenatal diagnosis of a specific SD remains challenging. Molecular genetic diagnosis involves invasive testing, which some patients are not amenable to.

Making intussusception reductions easier: use of medical air in lieu of manual pump.

Background: Pneumatic reduction of ileocolic intussusception is commonly performed with manual insufflators. The challenge of operating a handheld device while controlling the fluoroscope and monitoring the reduction could be obviated if the manual insufflation could be eliminated.

Objective: The aim in this retrospective study was to describe and evaluate the use of medical wall air in intussusception reduction.

Early pulmonary complications related to cancer treatment in children.

In this review, we summarize early pulmonary complications related to cancer therapy in children and highlight characteristic findings on imaging that should be familiar to a radiologist reviewing imaging from pediatric cancer patients.

Five Years Later: Impact of a Focused Women in Radiology Program.

Purpose: Women are underrepresented in radiology and experience barriers to professional growth that can affect job satisfaction and career advancement. The authors hypothesized that a structured, intentional Women in Radiology (WiR) program would increase women faculty members' perceptions of workplace gender equity, satisfaction with pace of professional advancement, interest in research and teaching, and perceptions of work-life balance and mentorship opportunities.

Methods: Components and structure of a sustainable WiR program are described in detail.

Lymphatic Anomalies in Children: Update on Imaging Diagnosis, Genetics, and Treatment.

Lymphatic anomalies comprise a spectrum of disorders ranging from common localized microcystic and macrocystic lymphatic malformations (LMs) to rare complex lymphatic anomalies, including generalized lymphatic anomaly, Kaposiform lymph-angiomatosis, central conducting lymphatic anomaly, and Gorham-Stout disease. Imaging diagnosis of cystic LMs is generally straightforward, but complex lymphatic anomalies, particularly those with multiorgan involvement or diffuse disease, may be more challenging to diagnose. Complex lymphatic anomalies are rare but associated with high morbidity.

Characterization of germinal matrix hemorrhage in extremely premature infants: recognition of posterior location and diagnostic pitfalls.

Background: Traditionally, descriptions of germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH), derived from observations in preterm and very preterm infants, indicate its location at the caudothalamic grooves. However, before the germinal matrix begins to recede at approximately 28 weeks' gestational age (GA), it extends along the floor of the lateral ventricles far posterior to the caudothalamic grooves. Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) can occur along any site from which the germinal matrix has not yet involuted.

Head Ultrasound Resistive Indices Are Associated With Brain Injury on Diffusion Tensor Imaging Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Neonates With Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy.

Background: Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is associated with dysfunctional cerebral autoregulation. Resistive index (RI) measured in the anterior cerebral artery on transfontanellar head ultrasound is a noninvasive measure of blood flow and may indicate autoregulation dysfunction. We tested whether RI was associated with brain injury on diffusion tensor imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Gauging potential risk for patients in pediatric radiology by review of over 2,000 incident reports.

Background: Incident reporting can be used to inform imaging departments about adverse events and near misses.

Objective: To study incident reports submitted during a 5-year period at a large pediatric imaging system to evaluate which imaging modalities and other factors were associated with a greater rate of filed incident reports.

Materials And Methods: All incident reports filed between 2013 and 2017 were reviewed and categorized by modality, patient type (inpatient, outpatient or emergency center) and use of sedation/anesthesia.
