Our Agenda
• Four points– Overview of imaging– Imaging statistics– Evolving guidelines– Clinical cases
![Page 3: Pediatric radiology](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013003/556175a9d8b42a171a8b4b40/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Introduction and Statistics• Exciting, evolving aspect of pediatrics• In the United States in 2006:
– 377 million diagnostic and interventional radiology exams
– 18 million nuclear medicine exams– Usage in the U.S. alone accounted for:
• ~12% of the world’s radiologic procedures• ~50% of the world’s nuclear medicine procedures

Evolving guidlines• Unique from adult• Society of Nuclear Medicine and the Society for Pediatric
Radiology have expanded their pediatric radiation protection initiative by standardizing doses (based on body weight) for 11 nuclear medicine procedures commonly performed in children.
• “Children may be more sensitive to radiation from medical imaging scans than adults. A radiopharmaceutical dose which is too low may risk poor diagnostic image quality. Doses too high may expose the child to unnecessary radiation exposure without benefit”
• ”Child-size” the amount of radiopharmaceutical used by following the new guidelines

Aortic coarctation•M:F – 2-3:1
•5% - 8% of all congenital heart defects
•Bicuspid aortic valve seen in 75%-80% of cases
•Two types– Infantile (pre-ductal) and adult (post-ductal)– Infantile characterized by diffuse hypoplasia or narrowing of the aorta
from just distal to brachiocephalic artery to level of ductus arteriosus, typically with discrete area of constriction just proximal to the ductus but distal to the origin of the subclavian artery.
– Adult – short segment abrupt stenosis of the post-ductal aorta due to thickening of the aortic media, typically just distal to the ligamentum arteriosum
![Page 11: Pediatric radiology](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013003/556175a9d8b42a171a8b4b40/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Aortic coarctation• Frequently associated with other congenital defects
– 15%-20% of girls with Turner syndrome– VSD– Cyanotic congenital lesions (truncus arteriosus,
transposition of the great vessels– Mitral valve defects– Various syndromes
• All angiography capable of deliniating the coarctation and collaterals (CTA / MRA / DSA)
• Treatment with excision and end-to-end anastomosis or balloon angioplasty.

Copper beaten skull• Prominence of convolutional markings adjacent to
underlying gyri• Caused by raised ICP from any cause, e.g.
craniosynostosis, obstructive hydrocephalus, intracranial masses, etc.
• Convolutional marking are similar in appearance but a normal finding– These are shallower and usually confined to the posterior
skull
• Luckenschadel skull

Cystic fibrosis• AR disease affecting exocrine function of lungs, liver, pancreas and small
bowel (CFTR gene on 7q31.2)
• Most common genetic disease affecting European population
• 1 in 2000 to 3500 live births
• Pulmonary manifestations are among the best known
• Clinical presentation is with expected recurrent bacterial infection (Pseudomonas, S. aureus/H. influenze in first 6 months, Burkholderia cepacia) and hemoptysis.
• Chronic cough and expectorate of copious sputum
• Later in disease – larger volume hemoptysis and pneumothoraces
• Can be suspected antenatally due to echogenic bowel or genetic testing
• Diagnosis with sweat test after birth (>60 mEq/L)
• Treatment with antibiotics, corticosteroids, pancreatic enzyme supplementation (~85%), physiotherapy, lung transplant and others
• Life expectancy now reaching 40 years of more with therapy

Osteogenesis imperfecta• Congenital, non-sex-linked, hereditary disorder
– Inheritance can be AD, AD with new mutation or AR depending on type
– Incidence: 1 in 12,000 to 15,000 births• Types I to VIII• Hallmark feature is fragile bones that fracture easily. Affects both
bone quality and quantity.• Clinical presentation is highly variable, ranging from mild with no
deformity, normal stature and a few fractures (I) to a form that is lethal during the perinatal period (II)
• Type I is commonest with general bone fragility, loose joints, absent to minimal bone deformity, blue, purple or gray sclera, brittle teeth and predisposition to hearing loss

Osteogenesis imperfecta
• Associated forms (rare)– Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome – severe
form of OI that also causes blindness– Cole-Carpenter syndrome – OI with
craniosynotosis and ocular proptosis– Bruck syndrome – OI with congenital joint
contractures– OI / Ehlers-Danlos syndrome – recently identified
syndrome featuring fragile bones and extreme ligament laxity

21q11 • Components: VSD, overriding aorta, right
ventricular outflow obstruction, right ventricular hypertrophy
• Pink tetralogy of Fallot• Pentalogy of Fallot

Aicardi syndrome• Described in 1961 by French pediatrician Jean Francois Aicardi• Rare severe developmental disorder. • Results from X-linked dominant defect that is fatal in males and thus is
only seen in females (except for rare 47-XXY cases)• Typical presentation is
– Infantile spasms (salaam seizures with typical bowing of the head)– Corpus callosum dysgenesis (most consistent feature)– Distinctive chorioretinal lacunae (pathognomonic)– Mental retardation– Most also have severe impediment related to speech
• No cure. No defined standard course of treatment. • Treatment is purely symptomatic and involves management of seizures
and programs for the mental retardation.
