Abstract
In 2021, rapid magnetic resonance imaging (rMRI) became a primary imaging tool for suspected pediatric orbital cellulitis at our institution. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent rMRI to evaluate the effectiveness of the protocol. A total of 31 patients were included (median age, 5.07 years). Of the 30 diagnostic scans, 11 (37%) showed preseptal cellulitis, and 19 (63%) showed orbital cellulitis. In 5 cases, orbital contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was additionally ordered; rMRI and CT scan findings were similar in all 5 cases. Overall, we observed 93% (28/30) concordance of rMRI with the final clinical diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
