Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography: a simple algorithm for image interpretation.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography is a high-resolution imaging technique that has emerged as the preferred method for evaluating lymphatic anatomy and flow dynamics due to its precise anatomical detail. The lymphatic system has a complex anatomical distribution, and variability is common among individuals with cardiac abnormalities, particularly congenital heart disease. Lymphatic imaging has recently been revolutionized by the introduction of MR lymphangiography.

Imaging findings of children with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome: a 20-year multicentric pediatric cohort.

Background: PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome results from a mutation in the PTEN gene located at 10q23.31. This syndrome represents a spectrum of different phenotypes of variable expressions, now recognized as part of the same condition.

How we do it: Cardiac implantable devices are not a contraindication to MRI: time for a paradigm shift.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now an indispensable diagnostic tool in medicine due to its outstanding contrast resolution and absence of radiation exposure, enabling detailed tissue characterization and three-dimensional anatomical representation. This is especially important when evaluating individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD) who frequently require cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs). While MRI safety issues have previously limited its use in patients with CIEDs, new advances have called these limitations into question.

Learning from experience - Radiology ancillary review of prospective research studies involving imaging.

This report describes the operational process of a big academic children's hospital's Radiology Scientific Review Committee, with a focus on its role in integrating radiology services into pediatric clinical research. We define the step-by-step workflow used to assess research proposals involving imaging and share insights from the past three years of data collection. Trends in modalities, radiologist involvement, and interpretation possibilities are outlined in the data.

The use of sodium MRI in the diagnosis of an anaplastic astrocytoma during immunotherapy: a case report.

Gliomas in the pediatric population are targeted with immune-modulating therapies. The gold standard imaging modality for diagnosis and monitoring treatment response is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, the complex post-therapy-induced changes can make treatment response assessment difficult. These include radiation necrosis, pseudoresponse, and pseudoprogression, as well as more complex responses in the setting of immunotherapy.

Case competition sessions: a global education and academic engagement tool.

Background: Radiology virtual teaching sessions utilize live video conferencing to promote collaborative learning and engagement by discussing radiology cases. Because of its convenience and flexibility, this mode of education has gained popularity, particularly after the corona virus disease 2019 pandemic.

Objective: We describe our experience in organizing a series of "Global Health Imaging Case Competitions" for trainees in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
