The use of computed tomography (CT) in clinical practice has been increasing rapidly, with
the number of CT examinations performed in adults and children rising by 10% per year in …

Recognising the skeletal manifestations of inflicted injury (II) in infants and young children is
of crucial importance. There are specific fracture patterns which are highly suspicious of II in …

Purpose CT is routinely used to detect cranial abnormalities in pediatric patients with head
trauma or craniosynostosis. This study aimed to develop a deep learning method to …

Introduction. This study investigates radiographically acquired normative ranges of anterior
fontanelle closure (AFC) and surface area (SA) in healthy full-term infants. Methods. High …

Background: Fusion of cranial-base sutures/synchondroses presents a clinical conundrum,
given their often unclear “normal” timing of closure. This study investigates the physiologic …

The newborn neurocranium comprises a collection of expanding ossification centers. Rapid
expansion of the intracranial contents during the first 2 years of life stretches the …

Purpose We performed a retrospective qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the sutural
changes during the physiological growth to define the age-related ossification stages of …

Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more sutures across the calvaria,
resulting in morphological and health complications that require invasive corrective surgery …

Characterizing the suture morphological variation is a crucial step to investigate the
influence of sutures on infant head biomechanics. This study aimed to establish a …

There are increasing concerns relating to the ionizing effects of computed tomography
imaging in infants with benign conditions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a potential …
