No signal intensity for pediatric patients with macrocyclic GBCA
By Wayne Forrest
German researchers have found additional evidence that the use of a macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) for MRI scans does not increase signal intensity in the dentate nucleus. The new findings come from a study of pediatric patients published online in Radiology.

U.K. pediatric radiology shortage puts kids at risk
By Rebekah Moan
National standards for pediatric imaging are not being met in a large number of centers in the U.K., putting thousands of children at risk, according to a recent audit. A way to solve the problem in the short term is to link up specialists with their colleagues, the researchers added.

Germans link CT cancer risk to social deprivation
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A new pediatric study from Germany suggests that poorer children get more scans from radiation-bearing modalities like CT. Clinicians and radiologists need to be aware that children from deprived backgrounds may be more likely to undergo CT than their more privileged peers.

Video from ECR 2016: Dr. Erich Sorantin on pediatric dose
VIENNA - The "half-slice thickness" approach is a practical and cost-effective way to reduce CT dose, particularly for children, and it doesn't require additional hardware or staff. That’s the view of Dr. Erich Sorantin. In an interview with AuntMinnieEurope.com at ECR 2016, he elaborates on how the technique works.
