Pediatric Chest Radiology

Pediatric chest radiology is a specialized area of medical imaging focused on diagnosing and monitoring lung and heart conditions in children through X-rays and other imaging techniques. Since children's bodies and diseases differ from adults, pediatric radiologists are trained to recognize specific signs of illnesses like infections, diseases, or abnormalities in the chest area. This field is essential for safely assessing conditions such as pneumonia, asthma, and congenital heart defects, ensuring young patients receive appropriate treatment while minimizing exposure to radiation.
