AI Article Synopsis
- Determining appropriate use of CT scans in children is complex due to various acknowledged and unrecognized factors influencing scan utilization.
- Efforts to improve CT scan usage should involve collaboration, shared accountability, and enhanced resources like guidelines and decision rules.
- Radiologists are encouraged to adopt cooperative strategies instead of blame-oriented approaches in order to foster better practices in scan utilization.
Article Abstract
Defining what is appropriate or inappropriate with respect to CT scanning is challenging. There are a variety of influences on scan utilization in children, some more widely recognized and acknowledged than others. It is important to understand the contribution of these elements as we move toward improved utilization. This must be through partnerships and shared efforts and accountability. These efforts include improved resources such as consensus appropriateness criteria and guidelines including decision rules and support. But there also need to be trench-based strategies on the part of practicing radiologists to model cooperative behavior rather than blame-centered behavior.

Sophia, Department of General Pediatrics, Erasmus MC, 3015 GD Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) are histologically benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and often lead to significant morbidity due to growth. Management includes watchful waiting, surgery for partial debulking, and, since recently, systemic treatment with MEK inhibitors. However, due to the scarcity of natural history studies, our understanding of the natural progression of PNs to guide clinicians in deciding in whom and when to intervene is scarce.
