The chest X-ray is frequently used for the evaluation of the lower respiration tract. The knowledge of the pediatric anatomy and physiology is essential for the correct interpretation of the image. Also the accuracy of the examination should be considered. Pneumonia is the most important disease ...
Chest X-ray Moderate cardiomegaly with pulmonary plethora Narrow superior mediastinum Right sided aortic arch in 20-40% Echocardiography is considered as gold standard in diagnosis and is sufficient to define the relevant anatomy for management planning For truncal valve usually assist in parasternal s...
METHODS: Image sequences of polymethyl methacrylate phantoms approximating chest sizes typical of pediatric patients were captured using a modern flat-panel receptor based x-ray imaging system. Tin was used to simulate iodine-based contrast medium used in clinical procedures. Measurements of tin detail...
The editor of Pediatric Cardiology welcomes original manuscripts concerning all aspects of heart disease in infants, children, adolescents and adults including embryology and anatomy, physiology and pharmacology, biochemistry, pathology, genetics, radiology, clinical aspects, investigative cardiology, ...
body PET scanners offer the potential of imaging with a radiation exposure equivalent to a chest X-ray.[1][2][3]This is likely to be valuable and transformative in pediatric oncology patients that may require multiple successive scans to assess response to treatment and monitor disease ...
Depending on the age of the patient, chest X-ray may demonstrate rib notching such as when significant large collateral vessels may be present. When a native coarctation of the aorta is first diagnosed in an older child or adult by echocardiography, CMR is then used to define the anatomical ...
The patient’s chest X-ray from earlier in the day was interpreted by the pediatric radiologist as negative for consolidation or other pulmonary pathology. You performed a lung POCUS with a linear, high-frequency probe and observed the following: Video 9: A lung POCUS of the case patient’s...
While BPD-specific changes are detected on conventional chest X-ray, the initial assessment of suspected PH is based on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) (Fig. 1). Here, one should not rely on a single TTE parameter, but follow a multiparametric approach. Even with a history of immaturity,...
Volumetric HRCT chest scans were obtained at an elevated lung volume (airway pressure of 20 cm H2O pressure). Lumen cross sectional area (CSA) was measured for the trachea and the first 4 generations (G1–4) into right (R) and left (L) lower lobes. Results: 15 subjects (6 males), ...
Lung ultrasound may not recognize centrally located pneumonias that do not abut the chest wall (1.5 % of cases) [184, 189]. 3. Describe the relevant anatomy to be identified with lung POCUS For a complete lung examination, each lung should be scanned in the longitudinal and transverse orie...
