    Abstract Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used worldwide as a complementary tool to prenatal ultrasound (US) for multiple fetal pathologies. The aim of this article is to describe and illustrate how MRI can help US to evaluate fetal abdominal anomalies, based on cases performed in a tertiary public university hospital. Prenatal US, fetal MRI and postnatal imaging of these cases will be shown side-by-side to describe and illustrate the added value of fetal MRI in the different organs/systems and its impact on clinical management.

    Abstract Congenital heart disease affects approximately 1% of live births per year. In recent years, there has been a decrease in the morbidity and mortality of these cases due to advances in medical and surgical care. Imaging plays a key role in the management of these children, with chest radiography, echocardiography and chest ultrasound the first diagnostic tools, and cardiac computed tomography, catheterization and magnetic resonance imaging reserved to assess better the anatomy and physiology of the most complex cases. This article is a beginner's guide to the anatomy of the most frequent congenital heart diseases (atrial and ventricular septal defects, abnormal pulmonary venous connections, univentricular heart, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries and coarctation of the aorta), their surgical management, the most common postsurgical complications, deciding which imaging modality is needed, and when and how to image gently.

    Abstract The indications for fetal body MRI are amplifying because of the expanding possibilities of fetal and perinatal therapy. However, huge heterogeneity regarding the indications for fetal body MRI is seen among different European countries that is mostly related to local use of US, but also to local fetal MRI expertise and legislation on pregnancy termination. The purpose of this article is to summarize the precise indications for fetal MRI, excluding the central nervous system. MRI indications arise from the sonographic findings, based on the operator's experience and the various practices in the countries and institutions represented on the European Society of Paediatric Radiology Fetal Task Force. We also highlight the strengths and weaknesses of fetal US and MRI of the fetal body.

    Abstract Congenital heart diseases affect 1% of all live births in the general population. The prognosis of these children is increasingly improving due to advances in medical care and surgical treatment. Imaging is also evolving rapidly to assess accurately complex cardiac anomalies prenatally and postnatally. Transthoracic echocardiography is the gold-standard imaging technique to diagnose and follow-up children with congenital heart disease. Cardiac computed tomography imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis of children with congenital heart defects that require intervention, due to its high temporal and spatial resolution, with low radiation doses. It is challenging for radiologists, not primarily specialized in this field, to perform and interpret these studies due to the difficult anatomy, physiology, and postsurgical changes. Technical challenges consist of necessary electrocardiogram gating and contrast bolus timing to obtain an optimal examination. This article aims to define indications for pediatric cardiac computed tomography, to explain how to perform and report these studies, and to discuss future applications of this technique.

    Abstract Congenital thoracic anomalies are uncommon malformations that require a precise diagnosis to guide parental counseling and possible prenatal treatment. Prenatal ultrasound (US) is the gold standard imaging modality to first detect and characterize these abnormalities and the best modality for follow-up. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a complementary tool that provides multiplanar assessment and tissue characterization and can help estimate prognosis. Prenatal treatment is increasingly being used in fetuses with signs of distress and to potentially decrease morbidity and mortality. In this essay, the authors illustrate side-by-side US, MRI and therapeutic options for congenital thoracic anomalies in cases that presented to a tertiary pediatric hospital during the 7-year period 2014-2021. Entities included are congenital diaphragmatic hernia, congenital pulmonary airway malformation, bronchopulmonary sequestration, hybrid lesions, foregut duplications cysts and congenital lobar overinflation. Treatment options include maternal steroids, thoraco-amniotic shunt and fetal endotracheal occlusion. Recognition of typical findings in congenital thoracic anomalies is helpful to establish diagnosis, predict prognosis and plan perinatal treatment.

    Abstract The most common acute infection and leading cause of death in children worldwide is pneumonia. Clinical and laboratory tests essentially diagnose community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). CAP can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or atypical microorganisms. Imaging is usually reserved for children who do not respond to treatment, need hospitalisation, or have hospital-acquired pneumonia. This review discusses the imaging findings for acute CAP complications and the diagnostic role of each imaging modality. Pleural effusion, empyema, necrotizing pneumonia, abscess, pneumatocele, pleural fistulas, and paediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) are acute CAP complications. When evaluating complicated CAP patients, chest radiography, lung ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used, with each having their own pros and cons. Imaging is usually not needed for CAP diagnosis, but it is essential for complicated cases and follow-ups. Lung ultrasound can supplement chest radiography (CR), which starts the diagnostic algorithm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is used for complex cases. Advances in MRI protocols make it a viable alternative for diagnosing CAP and its complications.

    Abstract Background: PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome results from a mutation in the PTEN gene located at 10q23.31. This syndrome represents a spectrum of different phenotypes of variable expressions, now recognized as part of the same condition. Patients with this mutation have an increased risk of developing a wide range of findings, including malignancies. Although widely described in adults, there are no large series describing the imaging findings in patients before adulthood. Knowledge of the findings seen in children and adolescents with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome can help guide further management and improve surveillance recommendations.
    Objective: To describe the spectrum of imaging abnormalities in pediatric patients with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome.
    Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted between January 2000 and October 2021 in three tertiary pediatric institutions evaluating the imaging findings in children and adolescents (≤ 18 years) with confirmed diagnoses of a PTEN mutation. For each patient, the imaging findings, histopathology reports, and at least a 2-year follow-up of clinical outcomes for non-operative cases were documented.
    Results: The cohort included 78 children (37 girls), with a mean age at diagnosis of 7.5 years (range 0 days to 18 years). Benign brain findings included enlarged Virchow-Robin perivascular spaces, white matter changes, developmental venous anomalies, and cerebellar hamartomas. Benign thyroid findings were common, but 5/45 (11.1%) with thyroid abnormalities had a malignant nodule. Soft tissue adipocytic tumors, GI/GU polyps, other soft tissue abnormalities, along with vascular anomalies in various anatomic locations were common.
    Conclusion: Brain abnormalities, benign non-vascular soft tissue abnormalities, and vascular anomalies are commonly seen in children and adolescents with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome. However, malignancies involving the thyroid gland are not uncommon. Familiarity with the phenotype of PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome in the pediatric population can improve diagnosis and prompt appropriate clinical surveillance of abnormal findings that warrant further management.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus infection that can cause a severe respiratory illness and has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Because children appear to be less severely affected than adults, their imaging appearances have not been extensively reported.
    Objective: To systematically review available literature regarding imaging findings in paediatric cases of COVID-19.
    Materials and methods: We searched four databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Google Scholar) for articles describing imaging findings in children with COVID-19. We included all modalities, age <18 years, and foreign language articles, using descriptive statistics to identify patterns and locations of imaging findings, and their association with outcomes.
    Results: Twenty-two articles were included, reporting chest imaging findings in 431 children, of whom 421 (97.7%) underwent CT. Criteria for imaging were lacking. At diagnosis, 143/421 (34.0%) had a normal CT. Abnormalities were more common in the lower lobes and were predominantly unilateral. The most common imaging pattern was ground-glass opacification (159/255, 62.4%). None of the studies described lymphadenopathy, while pleural effusions were rare (three cases). Improvement at follow-up CT imaging (3-15 days later) was seen in 29/100 (29%), remained normal in 25/100 (25%) and progressed in 9/100 (9%).
    Conclusion: CT chest findings in children with COVID-19 are frequently normal or mild. Lower lobes are predominantly affected by patchy ground-glass opacification. Appearances at follow-up remain normal or improve in the majority of children. Chest CT imaging adds little to the further management of the patient and should be reserved for severe cases or for identifying alternative diagnoses.

    Abstract Cranial ultrasound (CUS) is an extremely valuable tool to evaluate the brain during the first year of life, in experienced hands. It is the initial screening imaging tool to evaluate the infants' brain and complementary to the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is an accessible, inexpensive and harmless technique that can be used bedside as frequently as needed. The aim of this article is to provide a guide for beginners about the indications, basic technical parameters, scanning technique, standardized planes, common variants and the most frequent abnormal findings visualized with this technique. This article will explain a systematic technique to adequately visualize and document all the relevant intracranial structures, using the anterior fontanelle, mastoid fontanelle and Doppler ultrasound. The variants described in this review include the normal sulcation of the premature baby, the peritrigonal echogenic "blush", lenticulostriate vasculopathy (LSV), benign enlargement of the subrarachnoid space in infancy, asymmetric lateral ventricles, connatal cysts, cavum septum pellucidum (CSP), cavum vergae (CV), cavum velum interpositum, megacisterna magna and choroid plexus cysts. This article will describe the sonographic appearance of different types of intracranial hemorrhage of the preterm and term baby, periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), central and peripheral hypoxic-ischemic events of the term baby, neonatal arterial infarction, cerebro-venous sinus thrombosis, congenital and neonatal cerebral infections, hydrocephalus, intracranial solid and cystic masses, and congenital brain malformations.
