Musculoskeletal MRI for the Pediatrician - 30 Minutes

Hank Baskin, MD
Adjunct Assistant Professor of Radiology
University of Utah School of Medicine
Staff Pediatric Radiologist
Primary Children's Medical Center

Active children and adolescents who complain of sub acute or vague pain relating to athletic activity often have no significant findings on conventional imaging. Despite "normal" x-rays, MRI often is able to elucidate the nature of more subtle injuries in these children. Many of the injuries can be managed conservatively by the pediatrician or in concert with the orthopedist. This presentation will showcase many such injuries, specifically focusing on knee pain in the active child and elbow pain in the athletic child.

Musculoskeletal MRI for the Pediatrician - 30 Minutes

University of Utah School of Medicine
Staff Pediatric Radiologist
Primary Children's Medical Center

In this presentation we will review current available imaging techniques and the benefits of various imaging protocols for children with suspected appendicitis.
