title: Radiographs.
abstract: Physicians performing radiology for children should utilize modern equipment, expose children to the least amount of radiation possible, and avoid unnecessary examinations. Those interpreting radiographs must be familiar with the wide range of normal variations of the skeleton and/or be prepared to refer to texts and atlases dealing with these. Careful examination of soft tissues greatly increases the accuracy of diagnostic radiology in the search for trauma and infection.
