When it comes to imaging – pediatric patients aren’t just tiny adults. Differences range from the obvious appearance of an open growth plate to the more nuanced signal intensities of ossification centers. Knowing when something is abnormal and when it’s a normal presentation for a patient’s age is part of what makes pediatric imaging so challenging. In Dr. Thapa’s latest series we’ll take a look at cartilage injury and abnormalities in the pediatric community.
After completing this course, you will be better able to:
- Â Â Â Apply appropriate search patterns to ensure high quality case assessment
- Â Â Â Identify key anatomical landmarks, variations, and abnormalities on imaging
- Â Â Â Accurately interpret advanced imaging cases
- Â Â Â Formulate definitive diagnoses and limited differentials
Some of the diagnoses included in this series include:
- Salter-Harris Fractures
- FOPE Lesions
- Tug Lesions
- Avascular Necrosis
- Osteochondral Defects
- Blount Disease
- And more…
