Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to assess how effective multiple ultrasound techniques are at non-invasively identifying liver issues like fibrosis, inflammation, and fat accumulation in children.
- The research involved comparing ultrasound measurements (shear wave elastography, shear wave dispersion, and attenuation imaging) with liver biopsies from 32 pediatric patients and 15 controls.
- Results indicated that ultrasound could differentiate between fibrosis grades and inflammation levels, suggesting it may be a viable method for evaluating liver conditions, but further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Article Synopsis
- Conventional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is useful for assessing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants, and multiparametric diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can provide deeper insights into kidney pathology.
- This study involved nine kidneys from seven infants, utilizing DTI to differentiate various renal lesions after acute scintigraphy related to their first UTI.
- Results indicated significant differences in DTI parameters between lesions and normal kidney tissue, suggesting that multiparametric DTI could help identify and differentiate acute pyelonephritis from other kidney issues in young infants.
Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in infants. The initial evaluation includes imaging to identify risk factors for permanent renal damage, such as malformation and renal parenchymal involvement of the infection i.e.

Methods: The cohort at the Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden, comprised 101 infants with their first UTI at a mean age of 3.9 ± 3.
Aim: This study evaluated renal swelling in infants with a first urinary tract infection (UTI) by correlating renal length and volume with C-reactive protein (CRP) and body temperature.
Methods: Ultrasounds were carried out on 104 infants at The Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden - 58 boys (mean age 3.3 months) and 46 girls (mean age 4.
