Awards are given at the SPR annual meeting and are based in part on the content being most useful in promoting quality imaging that might be accessed in low-resource settings.  

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in Pediatric Radiology: A Pictorial Review of Indications and Advantages

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly recognized as an essential imaging tool in pediatric radiology, offering a safe and non-invasive alternative to conventional imaging modalities such as CT and MRI. By eliminating the risks associated with ionizing radiation, CEUS is particularly advantageous for pediatric patients, providing real-time, high-resolution imaging that is both dynamic and versatile. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to present a comprehensive pictorial review of the diverse clinical indications and diagnostic benefits of CEUS in pediatric practice.

Thoracic Ultrasound - Say What? A Special Diagnostic Tool in Pediatric Population

... Nowadays, the reduction of exposure to ionizing radiation in children is advocated by the “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) principle, and therefore, ultrasound (US) has become the main investigation ... educational exhibit is to describe the normal artefacts produced by LUS in a healthy lung to distinguish them from pathologic patterns and the application of LUS in pediatric diseases and procedures (ultrasound-Guided ... Then, we present a spectrum of cases from two institutions in our country using ultrasound as the main method. ... Read more
