title: [Imaging in pediatrics. Strategy and economic implications for the Third World].
abstract: The cost of acquiring medical imaging equipment is too high for many Third World nations. Ultrasonography and conventional roentegenography provide adequate data in most pediatric patients in tropical countries, for a low maintenance cost. Special training of practitioners in the use of these investigations is essential, before even performing the necessary choices among available equipment.
