The pediatric stomach - congenital abnormalities.

Diagnostic imaging of the pediatric stomach often provides a challenge for practicing radiologists. Radiologists should be aware of relatively unusual congenital pathology, especially when imaging very young children with gastrointestinal symptoms. We review congenital pathology of the pediatric stomach.

Updates and Advances: Pediatric Musculoskeletal Infection Imaging Made Easier for Radiologists and Clinicians.

Infants and children often present with a wide range of musculoskeletal (MSK) infections in daily clinical practice. This can vary from relatively benign superficial infections such as cellulitis to destructive osseous and articular infections and life-threatening deep soft tissue processes such as necrotizing fasciitis. Imaging evaluation plays an essential role for initial detection and follow-up evaluation of pediatric MSK infections.

The pediatric stomach - masses and mass-like pathology.

Diagnostic imaging of pediatric gastric masses often provides a challenge for the practicing radiologist. Radiologists should be aware of this relatively unusual pathology, particularly in cross-sectional imaging findings. We will review pediatric gastric masses and mass-like lesions, focusing on neoplastic and inflammatory etiologies.

CT-guided biopsy of pulmonary nodules ≤10 mm: Diagnostic yield based on nodules' lobar and segmental distribution.

Purpose: The aim of our study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CT-guided biopsy of lung nodules ≤10 mm based on their lobar and segmental location.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study performed on 193 CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsies of lung nodules ≤10 mm in greatest dimension, between January 1, 2013 and April 30, 2019. Biopsies were classified as either diagnostic or non-diagnostic based on final cytology and surgical pathology reports.

Beyond Crohn Disease: Current Role of Radiologists in Diagnostic Imaging Assessment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Patients.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a rising prevalence in children and an increasing number of adults living with IBD were diagnosed in childhood. This chronic disorder requires frequent cross-sectional imaging for evaluating disease progression. Radiologists must be vigilant to detect and understand imaging manifestations of acute and chronic, alimentary, and extraintestinal findings of IBD.
