The prognosis of these children is increasingly improving due to advances in medical care and surgical treatment.

Transthoracic echocardiography is the gold-standard imaging technique to diagnose and follow-up children with congenital heart disease. Cardiac computed tomography imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis of children with congenital heart defects that require intervention, due to its high temporal and spatial resolution, with low radiation doses. It is challenging for radiologists, not primarily specialized in this field, to perform and interpret these studies due to the difficult anatomy, physiology, and postsurgical changes. Technical challenges consist of necessary electrocardiogram gating and contrast bolus timing to obtain an optimal examination.

ETT tip location changes with neck position and can be determined by assessing the position of the mandible.

Two observers independently assessed the images for the neck position (neutral, flexed, and extended) based on the mandible position relative to the vertebral bodies. With the mandible absent (ie, neck position unknown), we established terms: \"gray zone\" (difficult to assess the ETT position adequately) and \"clear zone\" (confident recommendation to retract, advance, or maintain ETT position).

Traditionally, chest radiograph has been the first-line imaging test for detecting these disorders and when cross-sectional imaging is necessary, computed tomography (CT) has typically been the next step. However, due to concerns about the potentially harmful effects of ionizing radiation, pediatric imaging in general has begun to shift away from CT toward magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a preferred modality. Several unique technical challenges of chest MRI, including motion artifact from respiratory and cardiac motion as well as low signal-to-noise ratios secondary to relatively low proton density in the lung have slowed this shift in thoracic imaging. However, technical advances in MRI in recent years, including developments in non-Cartesian MRI data sampling methods such as radial, spiral, and PROPELLER imaging and the development of ultrashort TE and zero TE sequences that render CT-like high-quality imaging with minimal motion artifact have allowed for a shift to MRI for evaluation of lung and large airways in centers with specialized expertise. This article presents a practical approach for radiologists in current practice to begin to consider MRI for evaluation of the pediatric lung and large airways and begin to implement it in their practices. The current role for MRI in the evaluation of disorders of the pediatric lung and large airways is reviewed, and example cases are presented. Challenges for MRI of the lung and large airways in children are discussed, practical tips for patient preparation including sedation are described, and imaging techniques suitable for current clinical practice are presented.</p>","PeriodicalId":49974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thoracic Imaging","volume":" ","pages":"57-66"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9602840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
