A novel clavicle fracture dating atlas significantly improved radiologists' performance and agreement in dating not only clavicle fractures but also humeral and femoral fractures in infants, offering a valuable tool in suspected child abuse cases.

New radioactive isotope therapies promise more targeted attacks on cancer Recent clinical successes, and profits, have prompted a rush among pharma companies to try new isotopes and targeting strategies

A new generation of radiotherapies promises a more targeted attack on cancer.

This multi-institutional study finds that ultrasound has excellent diagnostic performance for midgut malrotation and volvulus in children, supporting its use as a first-line imaging modality for these conditions.

Trump's Medicaid cuts will hurt children's hospitals The GOP said its overhaul of Medicaid was aimed at reducing fraud and getting more adult beneficiaries to work. Among the likely side effects: fewer services and doctors for treating sick children.

Ghosts in the Reading Room: The Present-Yet-Absent, Mid-Career Academic Radiologist | AJR Academic radiologists are increasingly withdrawing discretionary effort—engaging only in their baseline duties—a phenomenon known as “quiet quitting.” In this Viewpoint, opinion synthesis with supporting evidence from literature is used to explore how burnout, lack of leadership opportunity, favoritism, and pursuit of financial independence exacerbate this trend. Institutions must realign reward systems, promote equity, and restore flexibility to retain engaged faculty.

I describe the structure of a manuscript to trainees as having the shape of the figure on the right. Intro & Discussion provide broad context while the bulk of the rest of the paper is at the waist of the hourglass (credit to my uncle the biologist). “Presentation” verbal or written has many forms.

Associations between MRI and endoscopic ultrasound findings in the pancreas in children and young adults with suspected chronic pancreatitis Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are both used to diagnose pancreatitis but how findings relate across modalities has …

Both #EUS & #MRI are acceptable imaging modalities for diagnosis of chronic #pancreatitis in #children - we wanted to understand how findings on these modalities might match up (or not)

=the modalities agree on duct findings but less so on parenchymal findings

Tips for asking ?s as moderator #ISTH2025

Clinical talk: what future directions do you see this work taking?

Basic science: how do you envision this translating to the clinic?

Next level pro tip: contact author beforehand to see what they didn’t have time to present that they’d like you to ask

If we want a stronger Ohio tomorrow, we have to invest in our children today. That starts with supporting our teachers, investing in our schools, and giving every child a chance to succeed.

Dear editors, your publication delays are damaging our careers Chia-Hsuan Hsu waited 18 months before chasing an editor for a decision on a paper. The answer surprised him.

Absolutely! Editors need to make faster decisions (even if desk reject) and not let authors wait for months

Dear editors, your publication delays are damaging our careers

I missed DDW…
Looks like more interventions in patients with SCD.
Were attacks of pancreatitis more severe?
I wonder about the impact of iron loading on attack severity.

Things We Do For No Reason: Avoiding IV iodinated contrast in AKI or CKD

I think of those who give prolonged meropenem for "undifferentiated sepsis" but refuse to arrange contrast CT to look for the source because the patient has abnormal RFT
