“…34 Early work has also shown feasibility of improved lymphatic needle placement for MRI lymphangiography in pediatrics with CEUS confirmation. 35 Retrograde pyelography has been used to delineate a fistula between the kidney and the lymphatic system in a child with nonparasitic chyluria. 36 Intranodal CEUS administration matches conventional lymphangiography in the assessment of thoracic duct patency 37 and treatment of lymphatic malformations.…”

Ultrasound contrast agents have gained increasing popularity due to the high level of safety, real-time improved visualization, and ability to detect vascularity. As a result, contrast-enhanced ultrasound lends itself well to interventional radiology including in preprocedure assessment, intraprocedural guidance, and postprocedure evaluation. The authors aim to demonstrate the wide utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in both vascular and nonvascular intervention.

“…Portable cranial ultrasound (CUS) offers bedside diagnosis in critical unstable children, for example to rule out intracranial haemorrhage prior to initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), but is inadequate for use in prognostication and is less sensitive than computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [34] To increase yield, contrast enhanced ultrasound (microbubbles of ultrasound contrast) is a new technique for real-time perfusion in neonates, [35] [36] including after cardiac surgery. [37] Nonetheless CUS is used frequently as part of the bedside assessment of unstable neonates and infants with open anterior fontanelle following major events at any timepoint in their admission.…”

As survival after pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission has improved over recent years, a key focus now is the reduction of morbidities and optimization of quality of life for survivors. Neurologic disorders and direct brain injuries are the reason for 11-16% of admissions to PICU. In addition, many critically ill children are at heightened risk of brain injury and neurodevelopmental difficulties affecting later life, e.g., complex heart disease and premature birth. Hence, assessment, monitoring and protection of the brain, using fundamental principles of neurocritical care, are crucial to the practice of pediatric intensive care medicine. The assessment of brain function, necessary to direct appropriate care, is uniquely challenging amongst children admitted to the PICU. Challenges in assessment arise in children who are unstable, or pharmacologically sedated and muscle relaxed, or who have premorbid abnormality in development. Moreover, the heterogeneity of diseases and ages in PICU patients, means that high caliber evidence is harder to accrue than in adult practice, nonetheless, great progress has been made over recent years. In this 'state of the art' paper about critically ill children, we discuss 1) patient types at risk of brain injury, 2) new standardized clinical assessment tools for age-appropriate, clinical evaluation of brain function, 3) latest evidence related to cranial imaging, non-invasive and invasive monitoring of the brain, 4) the concept of childhood 'post intensive are syndrome' and approaches for neurodevelopmental follow up. Better understanding of these concepts is vital for taking PICU survivorship to the next level.

“…Not only CEUS can help guide tumours’ biopsy to improve the accuracy of the final diagnosis, but the real-time visualisation of the vascular pattern in higher-grade tumours could also improve the intraoperative management by identifying structures at high risk for bleeding or the need for more aggressive margins at the time of resection [ 57 ].

Fluorescence guided surgery, augmented reality, and intra-operative imaging devices are rapidly pervading the field of surgical interventions, equipping the surgeon with powerful tools capable of enhancing the surgical visualisation of anatomical normal and pathological structures. There is a wide range of possibilities in the adult population to use these novel technologies and devices in the guidance for surgical procedures and minimally invasive surgeries. Their applications and their use have also been increasingly growing in the field of paediatric surgery, where the detailed visualisation of small anatomical structures could reduce procedure time, minimising surgical complications and ultimately improve the outcome of surgery. This review aims to illustrate the mechanisms underlying these innovations and their main applications in the clinical setting.
