Abstract:
Vessel wall MR imaging (VWI) is a technique that progressively has gained traction in clinical diagnostic applications for evaluation of intracranial and extracranial vasculopathies, with increasing use in pediatric populations. The technique has shown promise in detection, differentiation, and characterization of both inflammatory and noninflammatory vasculopathies. In this article, optimal techniques for intracranial and extracranial VWI as well as applications and value for pediatric vascular disease evaluation are discussed.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...
