DWI-MRI can solve pediatric arthritis with no contrast
By Wayne Forrest
Diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI-MRI) has proven accuracy in diagnosing and evaluating children with suspected arthritis and can help clinicians avoid the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents, according to a study published March 10 in Radiology.

MRI shows air pollution effect on kids' brain development
By Wayne Forrest
Air pollution is not only bad for the lungs, it could be bad for the brain as well -- especially in children. Brain MR images showed reduced gray-matter volume in kids who were exposed to high levels of traffic-related air pollution since birth, according to a January 24 study in PLOS One.

Deep learning of x-rays helps predict pulmonary blood flow
By Brian Casey
A deep-learning algorithm that analyzed chest x-rays was able to predict pulmonary to systemic blood flow just as well as clinicians. The finding could give healthcare providers a better way to determine which patients with congenital heart disease require intervention, according to a January 22 article in JAMA Cardiology.

MRI links lead exposure, family income to brain development
By Wayne Forrest
Despite bans on leaded gasoline and lead-based paint, areas of high lead exposure still exist. MR images have helped uncover differences in brain structure and subsequently lower cognitive performances in children living in areas with these toxic conditions, according to a study published January 13 in Nature Medicine.

Ultrasound of infants exposed to Zika predicts long-term risk
By Theresa Pablos
Some infants who were exposed to the Zika virus in utero but who appeared normal at birth later demonstrated delays in development as toddlers, according to a study published online January 6 in JAMA Pediatrics. But imaging tools such as ultrasound and MRI can help indicate which children might be at increased risk.
