Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of gynecological and pediatric imaging has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, contributing to earlier and more accurate diagnoses of various conditions affecting women and children. This Special Issue of Diagnostics aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these developments, showcasing the latest research and technological innovations in the field.

This Special Issue will present a collection of articles that explore the latest advancements in gynecological and pediatric imaging techniques. The articles included in this Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics, including the utilization of advanced imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of obstetrical/gynecological and pediatric conditions. This Special Issue will also highlight the role of imaging in the early detection of diseases, such as cancers and congenital anomalies, as well its role in the assessment of treatment responses and outcomes.

Abstract
Pediatric congenital lung malformations (CLMs) comprise a spectrum of developmental anomalies of lung parenchyma, airways, and vasculature. CLMs are increasingly diagnosed prenatally but remain best characterized by postnatal cross-sectional imaging. During pregnancy, ultrasound (US) and fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used [...] Read more.
Pediatric congenital lung malformations (CLMs) comprise a spectrum of developmental anomalies of lung parenchyma, airways, and vasculature. CLMs are increasingly diagnosed prenatally but remain best characterized by postnatal cross-sectional imaging. During pregnancy, ultrasound (US) and fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used to monitor lung lesions. Management of CLMs, including imaging, in infants and young children depends on associated symptoms and institutional standards. Chest CT angiography (CTA) is usually the most appropriate initial postnatal imaging modality for assessing prenatally diagnosed or clinically suspected CLMs in asymptomatic infants and children. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging/magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may be considered as a complementary, problem-solving, imaging modality for evaluation of CLMs during fetal and neonatal periods. This article presents contemporary perspectives on the imaging approach to pediatric patients with suspected CLMs and reviews up-to-date radiologic findings and clinical characteristics of CLMs. Full article
