Background Lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), originally described and validated on AP radiographs, has been used increasingly in CT-based studies, but it is unclear whether the measure reliable correlates with that radiographs. Question/Purposes We therefore determined: (1) interobserver intraobserver reliabilities of LCEA measured radiographs; (2) CT scans; (3) intermodality correlation between radiography. Methods reviewed radiographs scans 22 patients treated for slipped capital femoral...
Little League throwing guidelines have recently been implemented in an attempt to lessen the growing number of elbow injuries occurring youth baseball players.The purpose this study was examine pre- and postseason changes seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) players' elbows identify risk factors for pain MRI abnormalities, with a particular focus current guidelines. We hypothesized that abnormalities would be common pitchers high pitch counts poor guideline compliance.Cohort study; Level...
Pectus excavatum, the most common congenital deformity of anterior chest wall, is both a cosmetic and functional abnormality. The degree abnormal wall determines its effect, particularly cardiac pulmonary impact. Although CT scanning widely used cross-sectional imaging technique to measure Haller index, radiation exposure reason seek other alternatives. At our institution, we have introduced rapid MRI for this purpose, which utilizes single-axial 2-D FIESTA acquisition.
Youth baseball has been associated with elbow pain and abnormalities, leading to the implementation of throwing pitching guidelines. The purpose current study was examine abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in asymptomatic Little League players correlate these findings players' history physical examinations.A prospective who were 10 13 years age performed. Players recruited prior start season underwent bilateral MRI. All a examination responded questionnaire addressing their...
A variety of radiologic screening protocols exist for evaluation pediatric trauma patients with potential cervical spine (c-spine) injuries. The purpose this study was to describe findings on c-spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after previously normal computed tomographic (CT) scan at a Level 1 center.A retrospective chart review evaluated Rady Children's Hospital, San Diego, between January 2000 and February 2010 conducted. Trauma who were younger than 18 years, placed in precautions,...
Clinical clearance of a child's cervical spine after trauma is often challenging because impaired mental status or an unreliable neurologic examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the criterion standard for excluding ligamentous injury in children but constrained by long image acquisition times and frequent need anesthesia. Limited-sequence magnetic (LSMRI) used evaluating evolution traumatic brain may also be useful while potentially avoiding The purpose this study was to assess...
Recent evidence suggests an increase in the incidence of partial articular-sided rotator cuff tears adolescent athletes, but accuracy diagnostic studies has not been previously assessed this cohort. This study was performed to assess ability magnetic resonance imaging with arthrography (MRIa) diagnose (PRC) pathology age group.All patients under 19 years who underwent shoulder arthroscopy, between August 2008 and 2010, were grouped based on presence a PRC tear diagnosed by either MRIa or...
Objective The goal of the study is to investigate association pertinent preoperative temporal bone computed tomography (CT) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results intraoperative surgical findings complications pediatric cochlear implantation reported in academic settings.Methods This a retrospective review implant patients who received pre-operative CT MRI between 2005 2012 at otolaryngology practices within children's hospitals United States France. Scans were reviewed...
BackgroundHealthcare-associated pressure injuries (HAPI) are known to be associated with medical devices and preventable. Cervical spine immobilization is commonly utilized in injured children prior clinical clearance or for treatment of an unstable cervical spinal injury. The frequency HAPI has been quantified adults but not well-described children. aim this study was describe characteristics who developed immobilization.MethodsWe analyzed a retrospective cohort (0–18 years) stage two...
Objectives: Youth baseball is extremely popular, but it has been associated with elbow pain and pathology. The purpose of this study was to examine pre- post-season Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) changes in Little League players correlate these findings the players’ throwing history physical exams. Methods: A prospective age 10 -13 years performed. Players were recruited prior start season underwent bilateral MRI. All a exam responded questionnaire addressing their playing arm pain. At end...
Background: Despite the importance of skeletal surveys in evaluation inflicted injury children <2 years age, wide variability exists imaging protocols nationwide. Objective: We sought to evaluate whether addition lateral joint radiographs increases diagnostic yield for suspected child abuse. Methods: retrospectively identified performed non-accidental trauma (NAT) among 2 and younger from November 1, 2014 October …
