Pediatric Emergencies

Pediatric emergencies refer to urgent medical situations involving children that require immediate attention. In emergency radiology, this means using imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds to quickly identify injuries or illnesses, such as fractures, infections, or congenital issues. Children’s bodies are different from adults, so radiologists must carefully interpret images to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment. Fast and precise imaging plays a crucial role in helping doctors understand what’s happening and providing the right care to young patients in distress.
