This is going to be a whirlwind tour of all the important facets in pediatric radiology we need you to know on call. We will take a systems based approach to cover the major entities unique to pediatric imaging so you feel like you’ve got the hang of things by the time you’re done reading. You can either start from the top or tackle each system randomly. Of course, you can always click on whatever you’re most interested in to jump to it directly instead. Feel free to take a look at the table of contents below which contains everything we will discuss in this handy survival guide. Good luck for call. You’ve got this!
