[The significance of imaging procedures].
Pediatric imaging today is mainly characterized by avoiding ionizing radiation. In this regard magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography are most suitable modalities. Compared to other methods--radiography, CT, nuclear scans and angiography--the importance of MRI and ultrasonography as primary or supplementary diagnostic tools for various organ systems--CNS and spinal canal, musculo-skeletal system, thorax, abdomen, small parts--are emphasized. As demonstrated in other western countries integrated diagnostic imaging in pediatrics must be the pediatric radiologist's chief task also in our hospitals.
