Real-time fluoroscopic needle guidance in the interventional radiology suite using navigational software for percutaneous bone biopsies in children.
Navigational software provides real-time fluoroscopic needle guidance for percutaneous procedures in the Interventional Radiology (IR) suite. ⋯ In our experience, navigational software technology in the IR suite is a promising alternative to CT guidance for pediatric bone biopsies providing comparable technical success and diagnostic accuracy with lower radiation dose and procedure time, in addition to providing real-time fluoroscopic needle guidance.

Radiologic head CT interpretation errors in pediatric abusive and non-abusive head trauma patients.
Pediatric head trauma, including abusive head trauma, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. ⋯ A high incidence of radiologic interpretation errors may occur in pediatric trauma patients at risk for abusive head trauma who are referred from a community hospital. This suggests value for second interpretations of head CTs at a tertiary pediatric hospital for this patient population.
