Originality of new imaging techniques in pediatric radiology.
Pediatric radiology is a specialty that combines the performances of imaging and radio-protection. It also has to deal with absence of cooperation and motion of the child which have limited for a long time many radiological applications. Technical advances with shorter acquisition time in CT and MRI, higher frequencies in ultrasound, and digitalization in conventional radiology have widened the indications especially with the new modalities. We present in this article the originalities and the benefits of current pediatric radiology and perform a historic review outlining its evolution.
