Children are not small adults…Children bounce, adults break….These taglines kept popping up in the lectures given in the Paediatric Imaging session. This shows the importance of radiologists knowing the differences in anatomy and pathophysiology between children and adults to give a comprehensive and accurate report.
The Pre-congress Paediatric Imaging was held in the morning session with 6 lectures and was very well attended….full-house attendance!!! The theme was emergency paediatric radiology with focus on trauma. The speakers covered topics from basic to advance and current issues. Radiation risk and ALARA principle were the call of the day.
Kudos to all speakers for sharing their knowledge and the participants for their keenness and interests in paediatric radiology with the interest of giving the best service to our precious ASSET…the future generation!!!
