Abstract
Pediatric plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of various medical conditions in infants and children. This essay explores the importance of diagnostic radiology in pediatric patients, focusing on the methods, results, and implications of imaging modalities such as X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Key considerations in pediatric imaging, including radiation dose optimization and sedation techniques, are discussed. The essay highlights the challenges and benefits of pediatric imaging, emphasizing the need for specialized training and expertise in this field to ensure optimal patient care.
