Background: Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare auto-inflammatory disease that mainly affects children, and manifests with single or multiple painful bone lesions. Due to the lack of specific laboratory markers, CNO diagnosis is a matter of exclusion from different conditions, first and foremost bacterial osteomyelitis and malignancies. Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (WBMR) and bone biopsy are the gold standard for the diagnosis.

Background: Beta thalassemia major (β-TM) is a severe genetic anemia with considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. This study investigated whether genotype correlates with distinct myocardial iron overload patterns, assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2* values.

Methods: CMR data for cardiac iron deposition evaluation, which recruited pediatric participants between January 2021 and December 2024, were analyzed with CVI42.

Delivery of health care, including medical imaging, generates substantial global greenhouse gas emissions. The cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) community has an opportunity to decrease our carbon footprint, mitigate the effects of the climate crisis, and develop resiliency to current and future impacts of climate change. The goal of this document is to review and recommend actions and strategies to allow for CMR operation with improved sustainability, including efficient CMR protocols and CMR imaging workflow strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy, and waste, and to decrease reliance on finite resources, including helium and waterbody contamination by gadolinium-based contrast agents.

Case: We describe a 13-year-old adolescent girl experiencing persistent pain and reduced grip strength following nonoperative treatment of a medial epicondyle fracture-dislocation with closed reduction over 5 years before her referral to our clinic. Neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging of the elbow revealed damage to the median nerve due to an entrapment within the elbow. Surgical release of the nerve resulted in complete pain relief and improved neurological function with normalized nerve conduction.

We report the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with a 2-month history of severe fatigue and rapidly worsening myalgia. Biological tests revealed hypereosinophilia and an inflammatory syndrome. MRI showed increased signal intensity in the superficial and deep aponeurotic layers on T2-weighted images, with moderate fascia enhancement after contrast administration.
