paediatric curriculum
The pediatric curriculum is one of our curriculum articles and aims to be a collection of articles that represent the core pediatric knowledge.
Definition
Topics pertaining to pediatric radiology, including pediatric neuroradiology and fetal radiology, although there will be some cross coverage within the CNS and obstetric curricula.
Anatomy
An understanding of the anatomy of relevant structures is essential. Core anatomical topics include:
CNS
- normal gyration
- corpus callosum
- normal myelination
- sutures of the skull
Heart and great vessels
- cardiac embryology
- fetal circulation
MSK
- fracture description
- complete vs incomplete fracture
- normal ossification
- centers of ossification of the elbow: CRITOE
- centers of ossification of the wrist
- growth plate
GU
Radiological examinations
There are some key investigations that you will probably not come across anywhere else in radiology, and some that are significantly different in pediatric patients.
