A novel quantitative approach to evaluate femoral head perfusion by contrast-enhanced ultrasound: A pilot study in infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip Open
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a major morbidity that can occur after surgical reduction of a hip with developmental dysplasia. Early detection of changes in femoral head perfusion during surgery may help detect a hip at risk for AVN and guid…

Imaging of pediatric testicular tumors: A COG Diagnostic Imaging Committee/SPR Oncology Committee White Paper Open
Primary intratesticular tumors are uncommon in children, but incidence and risk of malignancy both sharply increase during adolescence. Ultrasound is the mainstay for imaging the primary lesion, and cross‐sectional modalities are often req…

Imaging of pediatric ovarian tumors: A COG Diagnostic Imaging Committee/SPR Oncology Committee White Paper Open
Ovarian tumors in children are uncommon. Like those arising in the adult population, they may be broadly divided into germ cell, sex cord, and surface epithelium subtypes; however, germ cell tumors comprise the majority of lesions in child…

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of adrenal hemorrhage: a helpful problem solving tool Open
Aims: A focal lesion in the region of the adrenal gland in a newborn often requires further assessment. Ultrasound (US) is the initial imaging method of choice in young children as it does not use radiation or require sedation and it has e…

Significant reduction of ischemia‐reperfusion cell death in mouse myocardial infarcts using the immediate‐acting PrC‐210 ROS‐scavenger Open
Managing myocardial infarction (MI) to reduce cardiac cell death relies primarily on timely reperfusion of the affected coronary site, but reperfusion itself induces cell death through a toxic, ROS‐mediated process. In this study, we deter…
