Children account for approximately 35% of imaging cases in hospitals. Paediatric radiography has idiosyncratic differences from adult imaging and presents the practitioner with complex challenges. These challenges need addressing quickly so that the patient doesn t encounter further stress. This book is written at the suggestion of the authors students and colleagues and is intended as a ready–reference for the radiographer encountering children in the radiology department, be it in a district general hospital or a specialist paediatric unit.
