What are the Challenges in Using 3D Imaging for Pediatric Patients?
Despite its benefits, there are several challenges associated with 3D imaging in pediatrics:
1. Motion Artifacts: Children may have difficulty staying still during the imaging process, leading to motion artifacts that can compromise image quality. 2. Sedation Risks: In some cases, sedation may be required to ensure the child remains still, which comes with its own risks and complications. 3. Interpretation: Pediatric anatomy differs significantly from adults, requiring specialized knowledge for accurate interpretation of images. 4. Cost and Accessibility: Advanced 3D imaging technologies can be expensive and may not be readily available in all healthcare settings.
