TL;DR: Genomic and cell-free DNA sequencing clarify the clinical diagnosis and inform treatment initiation in a cohort of 356 patients with vascular anomalies, and support the development of liquid biopsy-based diagnostic techniques to identify previously undescribed genotype–phenotype associations and guide medical therapy in individuals with vascular anomaly.

TL;DR: This technology has multiple applications within pediatric interventional radiology and can be considered as an adjunctive imaging tool in a variety of procedures, particularly when percutaneous access is challenging despite routine fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance.

TL;DR: Navigational software technology in the IR suite is a promising alternative to CT guidance for pediatric bone biopsies providing comparable technical success and diagnostic accuracy with lower radiation dose and procedure time, in addition to providing real-time fluoroscopic needle guidance.

TL;DR: The most common interventional-radiology-related CEUS applications in children have been extrapolated from those in adults, and they include the use of CEUS to guide lesion biopsy and to confirm drain placement in pleural effusions and intra-abdominal fluid collections.
