FAST recommended first for kids with blunt abdominal trauma
By
Cynthia E. Keen
In many emergency departments, CT exams are the imaging study most frequently ordered for patients admitted with blunt abdominal trauma. However, pediatric surgeons and radiologists from Germany recommend that ultrasound combined with clinical assessment is just as effective, thus avoiding radiation exposure.

Pediatric CT dose is low but varies widely in Belgium
By
Cynthia E. Keen
A national survey of scan protocol behavior and radiation dose at hospitals in Belgium has found that even though most facilities are generally keeping pediatric CT radiation dose low, there is still some variation between sites in terms of median dose levels.

Automated exposure control delivers uneven CT dose reduction
By
Eric Barnes
Reducing tube current may be a popular way to lower CT radiation dose, but it's not necessarily an effective one. In a new study, medical physicists from Greece found that organ dose reductions resulting from tube current modulation with automated exposure control can vary -- especially in children.

Simulation can replace sedation for pediatric MRI exams
By
Cynthia E. Keen
Having an MRI exam can be a frightening experience for both adults and children. Getting a pediatric patient to remain motionless during the procedure often requires sedation. But when given the chance to have a realistic, simulated MRI procedure in advance, children as young as 4 may voluntarily cooperate.

Low-dose CT may be suitable for pediatric fracture diagnosis
By
Erik L. Ridley
VIENNA - Ultralow-dose CT appears to be sufficient for diagnosing complex fractures in pediatric patients, according to research from Germany presented at the 2010 European Congress of Radiology.

Bladder tumor risk higher after childhood cancer
By
Reuters Health
NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Mar 5 - Childhood cancer survivors are at a fourfold increased risk of developing new cancers of the bladder later in life, new research shows. But their risk is still very small; fewer than one-half of a percent of all childhood cancer survivors will be diagnosed with bladder cancer by age 55.

Secondhand smoke damages arteries in teens: study
By
Reuters Health
WASHINGTON (Reuters), Mar 3 - Children as young as 13 who have evidence of secondhand smoke in their blood also have visibly thicker arteries, Finnish researchers reported on Tuesday. Ultrasound was used to measure the thickness of the aorta and of the carotid artery in the neck.

320-row CT minimizes dose in pediatric abdominal studies
By
Eric Barnes
It's no secret that CT radiation dose levels in children -- especially in the emergency department, where patients are fidgety and physicians need fast answers -- are too high. One solution, investigated by researchers from Toronto and Berlin, is wide-area-detector scans with 320-detector-row CT.

Childhood cancer survivors at increased heart risk
By
Reuters Health
NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Feb 11 - Survivors of childhood cancer who received certain types of treatment are at dramatically increased risk of dying from a heart-related condition later on, new research shows.
