Pediatric Spinal Radiology

Pediatric spinal radiology is a specialized field focused on using imaging techniques, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, to examine the spines of children. It helps diagnose conditions like scoliosis, fractures, infections, or tumors. Since children's spines are still developing, the imaging techniques must be carefully adjusted to account for their growth. Radiologists analyze these images to provide insights that guide treatment decisions, ensuring that any spinal issues are addressed early to promote healthy development and prevent complications later in life.
