Open AccessContribution of magnetic resonance imaging to the prenatal diagnosis of common congenital vascular anomalies
Screening ultrasound (US) has increased the detection of congenital vascular anomalies in utero. Complementary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may improve the diagnosis, but its real utility is still not well...

Pre- and neonatal imaging of gastrointestinal complications in congenital diaphragmatic hernia
The initial outcome in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia is mainly related to the associated lung hypoplasia. However, these patients frequently present with additional gastrointestinal pathology th...

Open AccessFetal cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging in utero
Fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to the emergence of ‘cine MRI’ techniques, which enable the visualization of the beating heart and the assessment of cardiac morphology and dynamics. However, establis...

Magnetic resonance imaging of fetal pelvic cysts
The detection of fetal anomalies has improved in the last years as a result of the generalization of ultrasound pregnancy screening exams. The presence of a cystic imaging in the fetal pelvis is a relatively c...

Performance of post-mortem CT compared to autopsy in children
Radiological techniques such as non-enhanced post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) play an increasingly important role in death investigations, especially in cases of non-medicolegal context of death, where t...

Imaging findings of bronchial atresia in fetuses, neonates and infants
Congenital lung malformations are increasingly detected before birth. However, bronchial atresia is rarely identified in utero and not always recognized in neonates. There are two types of atresia: 1) proximal...

Imaging findings in fetal diaphragmatic abnormalities
Imaging plays a key role in the detection of a diaphragmatic pathology in utero. US is the screening method, but MRI is increasingly performed. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is by far the most often diagnose...

Radiation Dose Management in Pediatric CT
The rapid increase in the number of computed tomography (CT) scans performed has augmented concerns about safety risks. Although some of this increase is certainly legitimate and improves patient care, there i...

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital lung malformations
Prenatal diagnosis of congenital lung anomalies has increased in recent years as imaging methods have benefitted from technical improvements. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to illustrate typical imagin...

Open AccessCongenital tumors: imaging when life just begins
The technical developments of imaging methods over the last 2 decades are changing our knowledge of perinatal oncology. Fetal ultrasound is usually the first imaging method used and thus constitutes the refere...

Method for performing cerebral perfusion-weighted MRI in neonates
Cerebral perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) in neonates is known to be technically difficult and there are very few published studies on its use in preterm infants. In this paper, we describe one convenient meth...

Raised intracranial pressure in minimal forms of craniosynostosis
Most cases of craniosynostosis are diagnosed during early infancy, but occasionally craniosynostosis evolves with minimal cranial involvement and goes unnoticed until late childhood. Seemingly these mild form...

Primary structure of an agonist binding subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from bovine adrenal chromaffin cells
Activation by acetylcholine of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor on the membrane of bovine chromaffin cells leads to membrane depolarization and to the subsequent triggering of catecholamine secretion. It is ...
