About

    Pediatric radiology is a subspecialty within the field of radiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries in infants, children, and adolescents. This specialty requires specialized knowledge in interpreting medical imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasounds in pediatric patients, who may have unique anatomical and physiological differences compared to adults. Pediatric radiologists work closely with pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, and other healthcare providers to ensure accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment plans for their pediatric patients. They also play a crucial role in minimizing radiation exposure and ensuring the safety of imaging procedures in children.
