“…US, as in our cohort, often allows adequate primary diagnostic assessment, but is also suitable for follow-up (11). State-of-the-art MRI systems with optimized pulse sequence techniques and multichannel coils now allow rapid acquisition of high-quality data even of large volumes and are a valuable alternative to CT (32).…”

Background Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare condition. Different imaging modalities are at hand for diagnosis. Purpose To identify patients with intramural duodenal hematoma and report imaging findings and clinical courses. Material and Methods Typical imaging patterns using ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were carried out on 10 patients. Results The mean patient age was 7.5 years. The average disease duration was 13 months. Clinical signs of improvement were observed within 16 days. Residues were still detectable at long-term follow-up. Conclusion For patients with intramural duodenal wall hematoma, diagnosis should be considered early. Typical imaging findings should be known to ensure optimal treatment.

SummaryChildren and adolescents with bone and growth disorders require interdisciplinary care from various specialists including pediatric radiologists with a focus on musculoskeletal disorders. This article covers routine topics, differential diagnoses, and selected research imaging in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), X‑linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), achondroplasia, and other bone and growth disorders from the standpoint of a tertiary referral center.

“…The often long duration of the examination directly affects patient comfort. Thus, a modular approach consisting of basic and advanced sequences is useful [4,13,17,18,67,68]. An example of a whole-body MRI protocol from the pediatric radiology department at the University Hospital Tübingen is shown in Table 7.…”

“…Whole-body MRI has been increasingly used in diagnosing pediatric oncological and non-oncological diseases over the last two decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Whole-body MRI is defined as a radiation-free image modality that allows a comprehensive investigation with a maximal scan length from head to toe, or minimal from base of skull to upper thigh, within a reasonable time frame.…”

“…The advantage of short examination time has to be balanced with lower diagnostic performance in comparison to local MRI examinations. On the other hand, using both modern scanners as well as advanced sequences, the spatial resolution and the specific MRI contrasts are similar to those in local examination settings, with only some limitation regarding image quality of the extremities [13,[16][17][18]. In addition, the possibility of combining local and whole-body imaging represents a distinct advantage of the method, also allowing functional imaging (e.g., diffusion or perfusion methods) [9,[19][20][21][22][23].…”

Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in pediatric oncology — recommendations by the Oncology Task Force of the ESPR

The purpose of this recommendation of the Oncology Task Force of the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) is to indicate reasonable applications of whole-body MRI in children with cancer and to address useful protocols to optimize workflow and diagnostic performance. Whole-body MRI as a radiation-free modality has been increasingly performed over the last two decades, and newer applications, as in screening of children with germ-line mutation cancer-related gene defects, are now widely accepted. We aim to provide a comprehensive outline of the diagnostic value for use in daily practice. Based on the results of our task force session in 2018 and the revision in 2019 during the ESPR meeting, we summarized our group's experiences in whole-body MRI. The lack of large evidence by clinical studies is challenging when focusing on a balanced view regarding the impact of whole-body MRI in pediatric oncology. Therefore, the final version of this recommendation was supported by the members of Oncology Task Force.
