A SMART way to reduce pediatric sedation MRI delays
By Wayne Forrest
CHICAGO - Having to wait almost two months for a pediatric MRI scan with sedation is no way to run an imaging facility. It's one of the reasons staff at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City launched the SMART program to better serve this young population, according to a Thursday talk at RSNA 2018.

MRI exposes changes to kids' brains from football
By Abraham Kim
An examination of MRI scans revealed that repeated head collisions incurred while playing football can deform the shape of white-matter tracts -- or bundles of nerve fibers -- in a child's brain, according to a presentation on Thursday at RSNA 2018.

US screening data from Fukushima shed light on thyroid cancer in kids
By Philip Ward
The latest results of mass ultrasound screening of children for thyroid cancer after the Fukushima disaster were published online on November 29 by JAMA Otolaryngology -- Head & Neck Surgery. The study provides vital data on thyroid cancer and may lead to growing demands outside of Japan for more ultrasound scans in younger people, increasing the risk of overdiagnosis, experts have warned.

Head impacts alter brains of young football players
By Wayne Forrest
High-level head impacts during just one season of football for high school and younger players can disrupt the brain's process of "pruning" synapses in gray matter; this disruption can subsequently interrupt brain development, according to a study presented on Monday at RSNA 2018.

3D printing gives pediatric heart surgery a boost
By Abraham Kim
Researchers in the U.S. have created hundreds of individually tailored 3D-printed cardiac models to facilitate presurgical planning for pediatric heart disease. Using these models has helped lower operating times and reduce costs, according to a new article published in 3D Printing in Medicine.

MR spectroscopy offers insight into neonates' brain damage
By Wayne Forrest
Proton MR spectroscopy scans of newborns suspected of having brain damage can hasten an early and accurate diagnosis and help determine if they will have severe developmental issues within two years after they are born, according to a study published online on November 14 in Lancet Neurology.

MRI depicts brain changes in self-injuring teen girls
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
MR images have shown that teenage girls who are prone to injuring themselves have reduced brain volume in two regions. The results suggest the root of the self-harming actions is also biological, rather than solely behavioral, according to a study published online November 5 in Development and Psychopathology.
