Open AccessSlicerCBM: automatic framework for biomechanical analysis of the brain
Brain shift that occurs during neurosurgery disturbs the brain’s anatomy. Prediction of the brain shift is essential for accurate localisation of the surgical target. Biomechanical models have been envisaged a...

Deep learning of birth-related infant clavicle fractures: a potential virtual consultant for fracture dating
In infant abuse investigations, dating of skeletal injuries from radiographs is desirable to reach a clear timeline of traumatic events. Prior studies have used infant birth-related clavicle fractures as a sur...

Free-breathing radial stack-of-stars three-dimensional Dixon gradient echo sequence in abdominal magnetic resonance imaging in sedated pediatric patients
There is a strong need for improvements in motion robust T1-weighted abdominal imaging sequences in children to enable high-quality, free-breathing imaging.

Open AccessA structural brain network of genetic vulnerability to psychiatric illness
Psychiatry is undergoing a paradigm shift from the acceptance of distinct diagnoses to a representation of psychiatric illness that crosses diagnostic boundaries. How this transition is supported by a shared n...

Open AccessMyofiber organization in the failing systemic right ventricle
The right ventricle (RV) often fails when functioning as the systemic ventricle, but the cause is not understood. We tested the hypothesis that myofiber organization is abnormal in the failing systemic right v...

Correction to: Prospective pediatric study comparing glomerular filtration rate estimates based on motion-robust dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and serum creatinine (eGFR) to 99mTc DTPA
The originally published version of this article contained a typographical error. In the text under the subheading “Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI method, post-processing, and MR-GFR calculation” and in Table 1...

Prospective pediatric study comparing glomerular filtration rate estimates based on motion-robust dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and serum creatinine (eGFR) to 99mTc DTPA
Current methods to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have shortcomings. Estimates based on serum creatinine are known to be inaccurate in the chronically ill and during acute changes in renal function....

Electrode localization for planning surgical resection of the epileptogenic zone in pediatric epilepsy
In planning for a potentially curative resection of the epileptogenic zone in patients with pediatric epilepsy, invasive monitoring with intracranial EEG is often used to localize the seizure onset zone and...

Open AccessBrain functional networks in syndromic and non-syndromic autism: a graph theoretical study of EEG connectivity
Graph theory has been recently introduced to characterize complex brain networks, making it highly suitable to investigate altered connectivity in neurologic disorders. A current model proposes autism spectrum...

Open AccessSchool-age effects of the newborn individualized developmental care and assessment program for preterm infants with intrauterine growth restriction: preliminary findings
The experience in the newborn intensive care nursery results in premature infants’ neurobehavioral and neurophysiological dysfunction and poorer brain structure. Preterms with severe intrauterine growth restri...

Article
Fetal brain volumetry through MRI volumetric reconstruction and segmentation
Fetal MRI volumetry is a useful technique but it is limited by a dependency upon motion-free scans, tedious manual segmentation, and spatial inaccuracy due to thick-slice scans. An image processing pipeline th...

Can induced hypothermia be assured during brain MRI in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?
Until now, brain MRIs in asphyxiated neonates who are receiving therapeutic hypothermia have been performed after treatment is complete. However, there is increasing interest in utilizing early brain MRI while...

Brain Development of the Preterm Neonate After Neonatal Hydrocortisone Treatment for Chronic Lung Disease
Previous studies reported impaired cerebral cortical gray matter (CGM) development and neurodevelopmental impairment after neonatal dexamethasone treatment for chronic lung disease (CLD) in preterm newborns. N...

Article
Intrauterine Growth Restriction Affects the Preterm Infant's Hippocampus
The hippocampus is known to be vulnerable to hypoxia, stress, and undernutrition, all likely to be present in fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The effect of IUGR in preterm infants on the hippocam...
