Contrast meals and malrotation in children-metal markers for improved accuracy.

Upper gastrointestinal contrast studies in children may cause false-positive or -negative diagnosis of intestinal malrotation from rotation of the patient. To alleviate this problem, skin markers can be used to reduce rotation of children undergoing this procedure, e.g.

MRI findings in children with tuberculous meningitis: a comparison of HIV-infected and non-infected patients.

Background: Radiological studies on HIV infection in tuberculous meningitis (TBM) in children are limited to small, retrospective studies using CT features. They report that HIV-infected children are less likely to display meningovascular enhancement, tuberculoma formation and obstructive hydrocephalus. No similar MRI-based studies were found in the literature.

Accuracy of radiographer reporting of paediatric brain CT.

Background: Radiographer reporting has been studied for plain films and for ultrasonography, but not in paediatric brain CT in the emergency setting.

Objective: To study the accuracy of radiographer reporting in paediatric brain CT.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively collected 100 paediatric brain CT examinations.
