Fractures in infants and young children are a significant diagnostic challenge in paediatric imaging, requiring high-quality images, sound impartial clinical judgement and a clear understanding of both inflicted and non-inflicted injury patterns.
Presented by Professor Amaka Offiah, Consultant Paediatric Radiologist, this webinar will provide a comprehensive, case-based overview of the radiological features of physical abuse, emphasising characteristic fractures of abuse and unusual injury patterns, as well as common differential diagnoses. Imaging pathways, technical challenges and guideline-based practice for skeletal surveys are reviewed, with practical tips to optimise diagnostic accuracy and reduce missed injuries.
Through illustrative cases and evidence-based discussion, this webinar aims to support radiologists, radiographers, paediatricians and other relevant healthcare practitioners in identifying the radiological features in infants and young children that should raise and/or support a diagnosis of abuse.
