Sedation costs add up for pediatric MRI studies
By Cynthia E. Keen
The costs of sedating or anesthetizing children for MRI exams can add up quickly. One Canadian hospital analyzed what it was spending on sedation and subsequently changed its workflow to improve efficiency, according to an article in the July issue of Radiology.

FDG-PET/CT a good option for imaging pediatric osteosarcoma
By Wayne Forrest
PET/CT could be an option for evaluating children with osteosarcomas, but not for those with Ewing's or soft-tissue sarcoma due to lower levels of FDG uptake in these patients, a new study indicates. The findings differ from results in adults, which have shown similar FDG uptake levels among the sarcoma types.

Kids learn breathing technique for better chest CT exams
By Cynthia E. Keen
An ideal pediatric chest CT exam uses low radiation dose to acquire high-quality images devoid of respiratory motion artifacts. This is easier said than done for a variety of reasons, but pediatric radiologists at a children's hospital in Ohio have figured out how to do it -- and without sedation.

Risk model predicts which kids may need orbital CT
By Cynthia E. Keen
Children admitted to emergency departments with acute periorbital swelling can be a challenge to diagnose. Specialists from Children's Hospital Boston used its hospital database of electronic medical records to create a risk model to try to give pediatric radiologists a better handle on when CT should or should not be used.
