AbstractImaging in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients is not targeted at evaluating the transplant per se. Rather, imaging is largely confined to evaluating peri‐procedural and post‐procedural complications. Alternatively, imaging may be performed to establish a baseline study for comparison should the patient develop certain post‐procedural complications. This article looks to describe the various imaging modalities available with recommendations for which imaging study should be performed in specific complications. We also provide select imaging protocols for different indications and modalities for the purpose of establishing a set minimal standard for imaging in these complex patients.

AbstractPrimary pancreatic tumors in children are rare with an overall age‐adjusted incidence of 0.018 new cases per 100,000 pediatric patients. The most prevalent histologic type is the solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, followed by pancreatoblastoma. This paper describes relevant imaging modalities and presents consensus‐based recommendations for imaging at diagnosis and follow‐up.
