What are the common non-ionizing imaging modalities used in pediatrics?
The most commonly used non-ionizing imaging modalities in pediatrics are:
1. Ultrasound: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal organs and tissues. It is widely used for evaluating abdominal, pelvic, and musculoskeletal conditions. 2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. It is often used for brain, spine, and joint assessments. 3. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Employs light waves to capture high-resolution images of tissues, particularly useful in ophthalmology.
