Abstract
This chapter spans a wide range of topics, most of them from the field of rare diseases. Neonatal thyroid conditions are discussed, normative values for thyroid size and volume are given. Implications for imaging in neonates with major chromosomal aberrations are reviewed. Likewise, selected syndromes, multi-system associations, metabolic and inherited diseases are discussed from an imaging standpoint. The reader is also provided with useful literature for more in-depth resources and practical anchor-points for case-specific research in rare diseases. The chapter aims to guide the unexperienced radiologist through structured assessment of skeletal surveys in neonates with suspected skeletal dysplasia. Neonatal normative values for length of long bones, and normal morphometrics of the skull and spine are given. Moreover, the chapter contains a comprehensive list of relevant neonatal skeletal imaging features with reference images. The final section covers basic aspects of neonatal oncologic imaging.
