Challenges and Peculiarities of Paediatric Imaging

چکیده
Paediatric imaging therefore requires specific training and certification that gua rantees ap‐ plication of thorough knowledge, expertise and a variety of dedicated or adaptable equip‐ ment. This is hardly the case in many countries; where there may not be sub specialty training in paediatric imaging and practice may not have specific requirement except inter‐ est in children. Historically, there are few recruitment training centers for paediatric imag‐ ing specialists, and this area appear to be one of the least subscribed of all radiology sub specialities. It is also difficult, to establish quality imaging service for children defined as ' A service where the child is examined and diagnosis made by specialists with appropriate ex‐ pertise, is imaged using dedicated facilities and equipment and where the child is at the cen‐ ter of all decisions made' (Report of National Imaging Board, NHS).
