Non-invasive imaging techniques are essential in pediatrics for several reasons:
1. Minimized Risk: These techniques reduce the need for invasive procedures, thereby minimizing the risk of complications. 2. Reduced Anxiety: Non-invasive methods are generally less stressful for children and their families. 3. Accurate Diagnosis: These techniques provide accurate diagnostic information that is crucial for effective treatment planning. 4. Monitoring: They allow for ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions without repeated exposure to invasive procedures.
