MRI reveals how reading skills mature
By Shalmali Pal
A functional MRI study has shed light on the different brain processes involved in reading as children grow into adulthood. According to research published in Nature Neuroscience, kids rely on phonetic cues to decode words at first, but later learn to consolidate letter sequences and identify them as whole units.

Virtual colonoscopy useful in some children
By Eric Barnes
Virtual colonoscopy is almost always performed in adults over 40, the population in which most colorectal polyps and cancers occur. But there are times when virtual colonoscopy might make sense for children and young adults, too. Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston found excellent sensitivity and tolerance for the exam.

By Eric Barnes
Imaging could play a role in addressing juvenile obesity, according to researchers from Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Assessing the type of abdominal fat young people are putting on could aid in risk assessment, and ultimately help prevent the development of obesity-related disease.
