Cranial ultrasound performance assessment tool: development and validation.

Aim: A standard assessment tool for direct evaluation of procedural skills to ensure proficiency of trainees is necessary for cranial ultrasound (US) in clinical practice. This study created and validated an assessment tool for cranial US performance by radiologists.

Material And Methods: An initial evaluation tool for cranial US using criteria was developed based on existing literature.

Etiology and outcome of acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis.

Background: Owing to the lack of data, we aimed to determine the etiology and outcome of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children in Southeast Asia.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. We included patients aged <18 years who were diagnosed with pancreatitis from 2000 to 2021.

Epidermolysis Bullosa With Congenital Absence of Skin: Congenital Corneal Cloudiness and Esophagogastric Obstruction Including Extended Genotypic Spectrum of , , and .

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by skin fragility and blister formation occurring spontaneously or after minor trauma. EB is accompanied by congenital absence of skin (EB with CAS) in some patients. Pathogenic variants of are responsible for EB with CAS in the vast majority of cases.

Diagnostic accuracy of imaging approaches for early tumor detection in children with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

Background: The Toronto protocol for cancer surveillance in children with Li-Fraumeni syndrome has been adopted worldwide.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the imaging used in this protocol.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a blinded retrospective review of imaging modalities in 31 pediatric patients.

Assessing the Reliability of the OMERACT Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Scoring System for Temporomandibular Joints (JAMRIS-TMJ).

Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the most comprehensive modality to assess juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-related inflammation and osteochondral damage in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). This study tested the reliability of a new JIA MRI scoring system for TMJ (JAMRIS-TMJ) and the impact of variations in calibration and reader specialty. Thirty-one MRI exams of bilateral TMJs were scored independently using the JAMRIS-TMJ by 20 readers consisting of radiologists and non-radiologist clinicians in three reading groups, with or without a calibrating atlas and/or tutorial.

Low psoas muscle index as an unfavorable factor in children with end-stage liver disease undergoing liver transplantation.

Sarcopenia is common in cirrhotic adults and associated with waitlist mortality and worse outcome after liver transplantation. Psoas muscle mass has been used to define sarcopenia. Therefore, we aimed to determine the association between psoas muscle mass and waitlist mortality as well as post-transplant outcome in children with end-stage liver disease.

Discrete Choice Experiment on a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring System for Temporomandibular Joints in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Objective: To determine the relative importance weights of items and grades of a newly developed additive outcome measure called the juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring system for the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) (JAMRIS-TMJ).

Methods: An adaptive partial-profile, discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey using the 1000Minds platform was independently completed by members of an expert group consisting of radiologists and non-radiologist clinicians to determine the group-averaged relative weights for the JAMRIS-TMJ. Subsequently, an image-based vignette ranking exercise was done, during which experts individually rank ordered 14 patient vignettes for disease severity while blinded to the weights and unrestricted to JAMRIS-TMJ assessment criteria.

Developing a reference MRI database for temporomandibular joints in healthy children and adolescents.

Background: Recognition of normal temporomandibular joints (TMJs) is essential to assess arthropathic changes. Few, if any, prior studies have evaluated the morphological appearance of growing TMJs by magnetic resonance (MR) examinations in the pediatric population.

Objective: This study aimed to determine normative osseous appearance of growing TMJs according to age and gender, both qualitatively and quantitatively, concerning structural and bone marrow changes.

Qualitative and semi-quantitative assessment of temporomandibular joint MRI protocols for juvenile idiopathic arthritis at 1.5 and 3.0T.

Objective: Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) frequently develop silent inflammatory and osteochondral changes in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Data-driven recommendations for TMJ imaging protocol are needed to reduce measurement error and scanning time. This study compares the impact of different protocols, imaging coils, and magnet strength on the reliability of image assessment and the subjective quality of images.

Temporomandibular joint atlas for detection and grading of juvenile idiopathic arthritis involvement by magnetic resonance imaging.

Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the diagnostic standard for identifying involvement of the temporomandibular joint by juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Early or active arthritis is shown as bone marrow oedema, joint effusion, synovial thickening and increased joint enhancement. Subsequent joint damage includes characteristic deformity of the mandibular condyle, bone erosion, disk abnormalities and short mandibular ramus due to impaired growth.

Immature gastric teratoma in an infant: a case report and review of the literatures.

Immature gastric teratoma is an uncommon germ cell tumor of the stomach. We report a rare case of immature gastric teratoma in an infant with down syndrome with clinically presenting with hematemesis and severe anemia. Complete surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment
