Objectives The purpose of this study is to determine if a universal 120-kV ultra-high pitch and virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) protocol on the photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) system can provide sufficient image quality for pediatric abdominal imaging, regardless size, compared with protocols using size-dependent kV dual-source flash mode energy-integrating CT (EICT) system. Materials Methods One solid water insert 3 iodine (2, 5, 10 mg I/mL) inserts were attached or inserted...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Previous studies have shown improved image quality in pediatric cardiac imaging using photon-counting detector CT (PCDCT). However, these did not evaluate and radiation dose when utilizing the full spectral capabilities of PCDCT scanners. Objective To compare between high pitch dual source energy-integrating (EIDCT). Methods This retrospective, IRB-approved study analyzed CTs from January 2021 to October 2023 patients (< 18 years). Patients were scanned...
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) imaging findings of pulmonary fibrosis are well established for adults and have been shown to correlate with prognosis outcome. Recognition fibrotic CT in children is more limited. With approved treatments adult fibrosis, it has become critical define criteria children, identify patients need treatment those eligible clinical trials. Understanding how pediatric compares idiopathic other causes increasingly important as these transition care teams. Here, we...
Abstract Objectives We sought to describe the phenotype for patients with P.I.G. including presentation, evaluation, cardiac co‐morbidities, high resolution computed tomography findings, and outcomes. Methods With institutional review board approval, we performed a retrospective of biopsy‐proven Biopsies, chest tomography, evaluations were reviewed characterized by experts in each field. Results Sixty‐two percent male. The median gestational age was 37 weeks (range 27‐40). at biopsy 1.6...
Therapeutics exist to treat fibrotic lung disease in adults, but these have not been investigated children. Defining biomarkers for pediatric children is crucial clinical trials. Children with surfactant protein C (SFTPC) dysfunction mutations develop over time. We evaluated chest computed tomography (CT) changes time SFTPC mutations.We performed an institutional review board-approved retrospective of mutations. collected demographic and information. Chest CT scans were using visual...
Abstract Background Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is associated many congenital and vascular malformations; however, reports utilizing computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) are limited. The objective of this study to review CT scans the chest from patients EA/TEF report their pulmonary findings. Methods We completed a retrospective chart children evaluated in aerodigestive clinic at Children's Hospital Colorado. Results most recent CTA or were investigated....
Abstract Marijuana use has risen dramatically over the past decade. Over this same time period, pediatric hospitals have seen an increase in presentation of adolescents with acute respiratory symptoms after recent marijuana inhalation. We report a case series three adolescent males significant findings bilateral pulmonary nodules and ground glass opacities on chest imaging associated Lung biopsies two patients confirmed silica‐induced pneumoconiosis. The third patient was diagnosed...
Abstract Objective To improve understanding of the interrelatedness airway and esophageal diagnoses by evaluating yield procedural radiographic testing gastrointestinal tract in children with conditions their referring a pediatric aerodigestive clinic. Methods A retrospective chart review all 325 patients seen program from 2010 to 2013 was performed single academic medical center. Demographics results esophagogastroduodenoscopies biopsies (EGD), upper fluoroscopy studies (UGI), pH...
