    Abstract Purpose: Haemodialysis provides various options for vascular access, including native arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), arteriovenous grafts (AVGs), and central intravenous catheters. However, the use of catheters should be avoided due to their association with greater risks when opposed to AVFs or AVGs. AVFs have garnered strong endorsement as the favoured vascular access choice for extended haemodialysis.
    Material and methods: A total of 200 patients initially diagnosed with AVF/AVG dysfunction were referred to the radiology department across 3 different institutions. The inclusion criteria involved patients who encountered repeated difficulties with access cannulation during dialysis. Conversely, the exclusion criteria comprised cases that had been solely assessed using colour Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), those exclusively evaluated with digital subtraction angiography (DSA), situations where DSA was not feasible, instances requiring immediate intervention due to acute access failure, and cases in which patients refused participation.
    Results: Inter-observer agreement regarding complications of AVF/AVG was very good for the identification of thrombus (κ = 1.0), seroma (κ = 0.953), aneurysm (κ = 0.851), and pseudoaneurysm (κ = 0.851). It was considered good for the detection of juxta-anastomosis stenosis (κ = 0.751) and feeding artery stenosis (κ = 0.638). However, he agreement was fair for identifying draining vein stenosis (κ = 0.380) and distal arterial steal syndrome (κ = 0.210). The overall diagnostic performance of CDUS exhibited 86% sensitivity in identifying stenosis, with a specificity of 99.1%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 96.5%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 97%, and an accuracy of 94.3%.
    Conclusions: CDUS is a noninvasive diagnostic approach for the prompt picking of AVF complications. It serves as a suitable first-line imaging modality for nonfunctional AVF due to its cost-effectiveness and accessibility. Additionally, we provide evidence of reproducibility, encouraging the diligent use of CDUS in AVF and AVG evaluation for early complication detection and management guidance.

    Abstract Purpose: Identify MR features predictive of poor outcomes in non-oncologic pediatric PRES.
    Method: A six-year search of all non-oncologic pediatric patients with clinical and MR features of PRES was performed. Modified Rankin scores were used to classify clinical outcomes into good versus poor, then clinical and MR features were compared among groups. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to identify MR predictors of poor outcomes for various imaging features, and p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
    Results: One hundred and forty-one patients (mean age 10.1 ± 3.0 years, male to female ratio 1:1.1) were included. Clinically, nephrotic syndrome (p = 0.03), focal deficits (p = 0.04), longer hospitalization (p < 0.001), and mechanical ventilation (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with poor outcomes. Univariate analysis revealed that deep grey matter nuclei (OR = 5.29, 95 % CI: 1.6-18.0) and cerebellar edema patterns (OR = 3.49, 95 % CI: 1.3-9.5), cytotoxic edema (OR = 63.6, 95 % CI:16.5-244.2), hemorrhage (OR = 16.58, 95 % CI: 4.3-64.2), and severe PRES patterns (OR = 11.0, 95 % CI: 3.5-34.7) on MR were all significantly associated with poor outcomes (p-values = 0.008 and 0.014, <0.001, <0.001, and < 0.001, respectively). This remained true for cytotoxic edema (OR = 84.26, 95 % CI: 17.3-410.9, p-value < 0.001) and hemorrhage (OR = 44.56, 95 % CI: 6.9-289.7, p-value < 0.001) on multivariate analysis.
    Conclusion: Diffusion restriction and hemorrhage on initial MR scans were the two independent predictors of poor outcomes in non-oncologic pediatric patients.

    Abstract Background: There is limited data in the literature regarding the role of nonarthrographic MRI for detecting biceps pulley (BP) lesions.
    Purpose: To assess the accuracy of nonarthrographic MRI for detecting BP lesions, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of various MRI signs (superior glenohumeral ligament discontinuity/nonvisibility, long head of biceps (LHB) displacement sign or subluxation/dislocation, LHB tendinopathy, and supraspinatus and subscapularis tendon lesions) in detecting such lesions.
    Study type: Retrospective.
    Population: 84 patients (32 in BP-lesion group and 52 in BP-intact group-as confirmed by arthroscopy).
    Field strength/sequence: 1.5-T, T1-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE), T2-weighted TSE, and proton density-weighted TSE spectral attenuated inversion recovery (SPAIR) sequences.
    Assessment: Three radiologists independently reviewed all MRI data for the presence of BP lesions and various MRI signs. The MRI signs and final MRI diagnoses were tested for accuracy regarding detecting BP lesions using arthroscopy results as the reference standard. Furthermore, the inter-reader agreement (IRA) between radiologists was determined.
    Statistical tests: Student's t-tests, Chi-squared, and Fisher's exact tests, and 4-fold table test were used. The IRA was calculated using Kappa statistics. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of nonarthrographic MRI for detecting BP lesions were 65.6%-78.1%, 90.4%-92.3%, and 81%-86.9%, respectively. The highest accuracy was noticed for the LHB displacement sign (84.5%-86.9%), and the highest sensitivity was registered for the LHB tendinopathy sign (87.5%). Furthermore, the highest specificity was observed for the LHB displacement sign and LHB subluxation/dislocation sign (98.1%-100%). The IRA regarding final MRI diagnosis and MRI signs of BP lesions was good to very good (κ = 0.76-0.98).
    Data conclusion: Nonarthrographic shoulder MRI may show good diagnostic accuracy for detecting BP lesions. The LHB displacement sign could serve as the most accurate and specific sign for diagnosis of BP lesions.
    Level of evidence: 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

    Abstract Rationale and objectives: Neurological complications associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been reported in children; however, data on neuroimaging findings remain limited. This study aimed to comprehensively examine neuroimaging patterns of COVID-19 in children and their relationship with clinical outcomes.
    Materials and methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study involved reviewing the medical records and MRI scans of 95 children who developed new neurological symptoms within 2-4 weeks of clinical and laboratory confirmation of COVID-19. Patients were categorized into four groups based on guidelines approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Initial brain/spinal MRI was performed. Images were reviewed by three blinded radiologists, and the findings were analyzed and categorized based on the observed patterns in the brain and spinal cord. Follow-up MRI was performed and analyzed to track lesion progression.
    Results: Encephalopathy was the most common neurological symptom (50.5%). The most common initial MRI involvement patterns were non-confluent multifocal hyperintense white matter (WM) lesions (36.8%) and ischemia (18.9%). Most patients who underwent follow-up MRI (n = 56) showed complete resolution (69.9%); however, some patients developed encephalomalacia and myelomalacia (23.2% and 7.1%, respectively). Non-confluent hyperintense WM lesions were associated with good outcomes (45.9%, P = 0.014), whereas ischemia and hemorrhage were associated with poor outcomes (44.1%, P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: This study revealed diverse neuroimaging patterns in pediatric COVID-19 patients. Non-confluent WM lesions were associated with good outcomes, whereas ischemia and hemorrhage were associated with poorer prognoses. Understanding these patterns is crucial for their early detection, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate management.

    Abstract Rationale and objectives: Recently, a new MRI-based classification for evaluating tibial spine fractures (TSFs) was developed to aid in treating these injuries. Our objective was to assess the detection efficacy, classification accuracy, and reliability of this classification in detecting and grading TSFs, as well as its impact on treatment strategy, compared to the Meyers and McKeever (MM) classification.
    Materials and methods: A retrospective study included 68 patients with arthroscopically confirmed TSFs. All patients had plain radiography and conventional MRI of the affected knee before arthroscopy. Three experienced radiologists independently reviewed all plain radiographs and MRI data and graded each patient according to MM and MRI-based classifications. The detection efficacy, classification accuracy, and inter-rater agreement of both classifications were evaluated and compared, using arthroscopic findings as the gold standard.
    Results: The final analysis included 68 affected knees. Compared to the MM classification, the MRI-based classification produced 22.0% upgrade of TSFs and 11.8% downgrade of TSFs. According to the reviewers, the fracture classification accuracy of the MRI-based classification (91.2-95.6%) was significantly higher than that of the MM classification (73.5-76.5%, p = 0.002-0.01). The fracture detection rate of MRI-based classification (94.1-98.5%) was non-significantly higher than that of the MM classification (83.8-89.7%, p = 0.07-0.4). The soft tissue injury detection accuracy for MRI-based classification was 91.2-94.1%. The inter-rater reliability for grading TSFs was substantial for both the MM classification (κ = 0.69) and MRI-based classification (κ = 0.79).
    Conclusion: MRI-based classification demonstrates greater accuracy and reliability compared to MM classification for detecting and grading TSFs and associated soft tissue injuries.
