  • Overall Learning Objectives: 1) Understand the use of imaging techniques to evaluate the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcomas, identifying key imaging features by advanced MRI (DC-MRI and DWI) for diagnosis and re-assessment. 2) Describe the role of imaging, the diversity of imaging findings and unique features in pediatric lymphoma and its mimickers which may help guide imaging protocols. 3) Review anatomic (CT and MRI) and functional (PET) imaging techniques, including AI and deep learning; identify updated COG recommendations for imaging and surveillance as well as those that apply to patients with cancer predisposition syndromes. Course Description: This pediatric imaging course aims to provide the learner with methods to diagnose and evaluate soft tissue sarcomas using advanced MRI techniques as well as novel functional PET and deep learning approaches. In addition to reviewing the most common pediatric sarcomas and their look alikes, this session will cover pediatric lymphoma, diagnosis, staging and restaging using advanced imaging techniques. This will be a high yield course for all radiologists with interest in pediatric sarcoma, lymphoma and cancer predisposition syndromes.
