This imaging educational program will focus on solutions to common pediatric imaging challenges. The speakers will present collective knowledge on best practices in pediatric imaging from their experience at dedicated children’s hospitals. The educational program will begin with a detailed discussion of the optimal configuration of fluoroscopes for general pediatric procedures. Following this introduction will be a focused discussion on the utility of Dual Energy CT for imaging children. The third lecture will address the substantial challenge of obtaining consistent image post-processing in pediatric digital radiography. The fourth and final lecture will address best practices in pediatric MRI including a discussion of ancillary methods to reduce sedation and anesthesia rates.
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn techniques for optimizing radiation dose and image quality in pediatric fluoroscopy
2. To become familiar with the unique challenges and applications of Dual Energy CT in pediatric imaging
3. To learn solutions for consistent post-processing quality in pediatric digital radiography
4. To understand the key components of an effective MRI safety and quality program for the pediatric practice
