What role do diagnostic imaging tools play in Pediatrics?
Diagnostic imaging tools such as X-rays, ultrasound, and MRI are indispensable in Pediatrics for diagnosing a variety of conditions. X-rays can help identify bone fractures, while ultrasounds are used for examining soft tissues and organs. MRI provides detailed images of the brain and spinal cord, useful in diagnosing neurological conditions. The equipment used often has settings or features tailored to minimize exposure and discomfort for children.
