Adolescents with complex chronic illnesses, such as cancer and blood disorders, must partner family clinical caregivers to navigate risky procedures life-altering implications, burdensome symptoms lifelong treatments. Yet, there has been little investigation into how technology can support these partnerships. We conducted 38 in-depth interviews (15 teenage adolescents forms of 15 their parents, eight caregivers) along nine non-participant observations consultations better understand common...
To evaluate the use of spiral computed tomographic (CT) angiography for diagnosis pediatric great vessel anomalies.Techniques used in adult CT were modified to allow imaging 15 children aged 1 month 12 years. Two-dimensional axial images and three-dimensional shaded surface display airway vessels generated from volumetric data evaluated prospectively. Findings correlated with results obtained at surgery (five patients), autopsy (one patient), bronchoscopy or other studies (eight patients).In...
Diagnostic radiology reports are increasingly being made available to patients and their family members. However, these not typically comprehensible lay recipients, impeding effective communication about report findings. In this paper, we present three studies informing the design of a prototype foster patient-clinician content. First, analysis questions posted in online health forums helped us identify patients' information needs. Findings from an elicitation study with seven radiologists...

The mainstays of initial evaluation the airway in infants and children are chest radiography esophagography. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is frequently used next to diagnose specific abnormalities obviates angiocardiography. MR usually allows distinction between a double aortic arch right with an aberrant left subclavian artery. In cases pulmonary artery sling, enables full vascular anatomy may also demonstrate tracheobronchial anomalies. aid diagnosis innominate compression syndrome by...
Abstract Background Pediatric cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD) due to treatment. This study assessed the yield screening for BMD in pediatric‐aged as per Children's Oncology Group Long‐Term Follow‐Up (COG‐LTFU) Guidelines, which recommend who received steroids, methotrexate, or hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Methods is a retrospective cohort 475 pediatric blood and noncentral nervous system solid tumor screened with dual‐energy X‐ray...

Fibrous tumor of childhood include several disorders with variable biologic behavior. In the review by Coffin and Dehner [1] 190 soft-tissue neoplasms in 183 children, 27% were fibroblastic or myofibroblastic origin. Although nearly all fibrous lesions are benign, they may be locally aggressive. The purpose this essay is to describe clinical characteristics illustrate radiologic features commonly encountered childhood. Familiarity presentation appearance aid radiologist suggesting diagnosis...
Background Administration of PO contrast within 2 hours before sedation for abdominal computed tomography (CT) is controversial because it violates American Society Anesthesiologists guidelines that recommend fasting clear fluids sedation. Objective This study aimed to review the administration patients undergoing propofol CT and evaluate impact violation traditional 2-hour NPO on care. Methods Sedation records were reviewed from January 2010 October 2011 all who received CT. A control group...
