Pediatric imaging presents unique challenges when it falls outside your daily practice or formal training. Essentials in Pediatric Imaging: A Team-Based Approach is designed for radiologists and care teams who don’t image children frequently to build skills and confidence through two days of focused, practical instruction.
Through collaborative, case-based learning, the curriculum reinforces fundamental concepts, closes common knowledge gaps and supports safe pediatric care.
