Pediatric Musculoskeletal Radiology

Musculoskeletal imaging is a subspecialty of diagnostic radiology which involves ordering and interpreting medical images of bones, joints and associated soft tissues and diagnosing injuries and disease.

Musculoskeletal imaging radiologists use:

● X-rays/plain radiography;

● Fluoroscopy (a continuous X-ray that creates moving images of the functioning of joints and soft tissue);

● CT (computed tomography) scans;

● Ultrasound which is used to image the anatomy and function of soft tissue around bones and joints;

● MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans;

● Imaging-guided pain management.
