Sociodemographic factors and Child Opportunity Index disparities associated with missed care opportunities in pediatric patients with lymphoma and leukemia referred for FDG-PET/CT
ConclusionChildren with lymphoma/leukemia, living in zip codes with very low or low COI, and who identified as Black/African American non-Hispanic/Latino experienced more MCOs. Our study supports the need to address intersecting sociodemographic, neighborhood, and health system factors that will improve equitable access to necessary healthcare imaging for children.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Case of pediatric cerebellar, hippocampal, and basal nuclei transient edema with restricted diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome in a 2-year-old girl
AbstractCerebellar, hippocampal, and basal nuclei transient edema with restricted diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome is a recently described entity that refers to a specific pattern of cerebellar edema with restricted diffusion and crowding of the fourth ventricle among other findings. The syndrome is commonly associated with toxic opioid exposure. While most commonly seen in adults, we present a case of a 2-year-old girl who survived characteristic history and imaging findings of CHANTER syndrome. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of congenital mesoblastic nephroma: a retrospective multi-center International Society of Pediatric Oncology-Renal Tumor Study Group (SIOP-RTSG) radiology panel study
ConclusionThis retrospective international collaborative study showed classic type congenital mesoblastic nephroma predominantly presented as a homogeneous T2-weighted isointense mass with a typical concentric ring sign, whereas the cellular type appeared more heterogeneous. Future studies may use identified MRI characteristic of congenital mesoblastic nephroma for validation and for exploring the discriminative non-invasive value of MRI, especially from Wilms tumor.Graphical Abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Diagnostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging in pediatric opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome presenting with neuroblastoma
ConclusionIn patients with OMAS,18F-FDG PET/CT has a high diagnostic accuracy in detecting tumors of the neuroblastoma, especially when combined with the independent risk factor serum lactate dehydrogenase.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Sonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis in a young child
AbstractSonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis is described in a 21-month-old girl who presented with altered gait. Spondylodiscitis, also referred to as discitis-osteomyelitis, is an infection of the intervertebral disc and adjacent vertebrae. The imaging modality of choice is spinal magnetic resonance imaging. Our case is the first description in the English language of the sonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis. Pediatric radiologists and sonographers should be acquainted with its features, for both incidental and intentional diagnosis. (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Paediatric hepatic angiosarcoma with consumptive hypothyroidism —an important diagnostic pitfall to avoid during evaluation of hepatic vascular tumours
We present a case of hepatic angiosarcoma in a 20-month-old girl, associated with consumptive hypothyroidism and, as a result, initially misdiagnosed as infantile hepatic haemangioma. Radiologists should be aware that consumptive hypothyroidism is not a reliable feature to use in excluding paediatric hepatic angiosarcoma. Biopsy should be performed in patients older than 1 year of age or with atypical imaging features.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)

Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings in children with neurological complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (Omicron variant): a multicenter retrospective observational study
ConclusionsOverall, these data highlighted five neuroimaging patterns associated with the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, with acute necrotizing encephalopathy being the most common of these neuroimaging findings. Rarely, the brain MRI of these pediatric COVID-19 patients also demonstrate hippocampal atrophy.Graphical abstract (Source: Pediatric Radiology)
