- Expanding the Imaging Spectrum of Polymorphous Low-Grade Neuroepithelial Tumor of the Young in Children
The imaging spectrum of neuroimaging features in a series of pediatric patients with a histologically and molecularly proven polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young is described, including the transmantle-like sign and adjacent cortical dysplasia.
- Clinical and Imaging Findings in Children with Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody Associated Disease (MOGAD): From Presentation to Relapse
This study characterizes the CNS imaging manifestations of pediatric MOGAD. The authors also identify the clinical and imaging variables associated with relapse. There is an age-dependent imaging phenotype at presentation and first relapse, and older age at presentation is associated with shorter time to relapse.
- Dual-Layer Detector Head CT to Maintain Image Quality While Reducing the Radiation Dose in Pediatric Patients
Radiation exposure from CT scanning is of increasing concern as CT use in children has risen dramatically. This retrospective study of pediatric CT heads aimed to compare 60-keV with conventional images obtained with different acquisition protocols to evaluate whether a reduced radiation dose can be achieved in 60-keV without compromising image quality. On the basis of image analysis and observer agreement assessment, the authors found a dose reduction of 28% while maintaining superior image quality with a scan protocol of 180 mAs compared with 250 mAs on 60-keV virtual monoenergetic images from spectral detector CT in the pediatric head.
