Open AccessRecommendations for cardiovascular magnetic resonance and computed tomography in congenital heart disease: a consensus paper from the CMR/CCT working group of the Italian Society of Pediatric Cardiology (SICP) and the Italian College of Cardiac Radiology endorsed by the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM) Part I
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography (CCT) are advanced imaging modalities that recently revolutionized the conventional diagnostic approach to congenital heart diseases (CHD), suppo...

Tracheal trifurcation: new cases and review of the literature
Tracheal trifurcation is an uncommon and often unknown type of anomalous tracheobronchial arborization, characterized by three main bronchi originating at the level of the carina. Diagnosis is important due to...

Inter-vendor reproducibility and accuracy of segmental left ventricular strain measurements using CMR feature tracking
Our aim was to evaluate the inter-vendor reproducibility of cardiovascular MR feature tracking (CMR-FT) for the measurement of segmental strain (SS) of the left ventricle (LV) as well as to test the accuracy o...

Dual-source computed tomography coronary artery imaging in children
Computed tomography (CT) has a well-established diagnostic role in the assessment of coronary arteries in adults. However, its application in a pediatric setting is still limited and often impaired by several ...

Article
Is MRI imaging in pediatric age totally safe? A critical reprisal
Current radiological literature is strongly focussed on radiation imaging risks. Indeed, given there is a small but actual augment in cancer risk from exposure to ionizing radiation in children, it is importan...

Article
CT features of diffuse lung disease in infancy
Diffuse lung disease in infancy includes a wide range of very rare and peculiar pulmonary conditions usually not seen in older children, in whom diffuse lung disease has much greater overlap with adult disorde...

Role of diffusion-weighted imaging, apparent diffusion coefficient and correlation with hepatobiliary phase findings in the differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma from dysplastic nodules in cirrhotic liver
To investigate the utility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the correlation with hepatobiliary phase (delayed phase imaging, DPI) findings in the differentiation of...
