Subdural collections (SDC) are the most frequently encountered neuroimaging finding in abusive head trauma (AHT). Wittschieber et al. describe the pathophysiology of SDCs and help us understand the limitations of neuroimaging for precise dating of SDCs. Six types of SDCs are described: Subdural hematoma (SDH), subdural hygroma (SDHy), subdural hematohygroma (SDHHy), chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH), subdural effusion, and subdural empyema; the latter two are the sequelae/complications of meningitis or sinusitis.

Dr. Susan Palasis has been appointed Director of Pediatric Neuroradiology at Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA)! As such, Susan leaves her position as Chair and Division Chief of Neuroradiology in the Department of Medical Imaging at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and heads back to her hometown of Atlanta, GA where she will join her husband, Dr. Bryan Philbrook, a pediatric neurologist and the Director of the Pediatric Stroke and Neurovascular Program at Emory and CHOA.

Dr. Carolina Guimaraes, one of our valued ASPNR members and contributors, has been appointed Division Chief of Pediatric Radiology at Chapel Hill, N.C. UNC Health! Currently, Carolina is an Associate Professor of Radiology at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University School of Medicine. 

Larissa T Bilaniuk, MD, FACR is an extraordinary person. At a time when women were actively dissuaded from careers in medicine, even relentlessly hazed and frankly abused, she persevered. She was drawn to Radiology and was one of the founding members of the neuroradiology division at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). Early in the formation of the division she was sent by Dr Mark Mishkin to the Montreal Neurological Institute to learn about this newfangled thing called a CT scanner.

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) have been used to enhance MR exams for over three decades. First approved by the FDA in 1988 for clinical use in neuroimaging, they were quickly adopted for imaging of all body parts. GBCAs have exceptional paramagnetic properties, shortening the longitudinal T1 relaxion time and thereby increasing signal on T1-weighted images. GBCAs have excellent safety profile with relatively rare allergic reactions.

It is with great pleasure to announce the success of our 2022 ASPNR Guerbet Research Grant Award! We had over 23 participants from around the world, including U.S., Canada, Chile, Brazil, United Kingdom, and Germany with many innovative proposals at the forefront of technical advances and clinical research in pediatric neuroradiology.
