      <i>Objective</i> - To assess the occurrence and extent of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with juvenile mixed connective tissue disease (JMCTD), compare pulmonary function in patients and matched controls, study associations between ILD and disease-related variables, and examine progression of pulmonary manifestations over time.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - A cohort of 52 patients with JMCTD ...
    • Whole body magnetic resonance imaging in healthy children and adolescents. Bone marrow appearances of the axial skeleton
