•Pediatric patients are more
radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the
cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing
radiation is higher);
•Use of equipment and exposure settings
designed for adults may result in
excessive radiation exposure if used on
smaller patients;
•Pediatric patients have a longer
expected lifetime, putting them at higher
risk of cancer from the effects of
radiation exposure.
For a child we don’t talk about chest alone ,
we talk about chest and abdomen.
Baby is small - chest and abdomen fit in one
single film.
Examine from trachea to periphery .
Some prefer to read from periphery to the
center.
Look at heart and lungs last.
Look both domes of diaphragm.
Look at costophrenic and cardiophrenic
angles.
In abdomen look for –
stomach shadow
Transverse colon
Rectal gas shadow
Near lung fields:
All ribs
Vertebrae
Soft tissue shadows
Upper part of femur and humerus also
helps in diagnosis.

pneumoperitoneum are different from
adult pneumoperitoneum and include:
•perforated hollow viscus
• necrotising enterocolitis (NEC):
most common
• meconium ileus in cystic fibrosis
• Hirschsprung disease
• intestinal atresia or web
• peptic ulcer disease
•iatrogenic
• intubation/mechanical ventilation
• rectal thermometer
• enema
Radiographic features
Although these are essentially the
same as in adults, erect chest X-rays
are not obtained, and thus the
diagnosis should be made with supine
films. Additional horizontal cross
table shoot through films or left
decubitus shoot though films may be
performed.

Steeple sign
Progressive narrowing of the upper airway
The thumb sign in epiglottitis is a
manifestation of an oedematous and
enlarged epiglottis which is seen on lateral
soft-tissue radiograph of the neck, and it
suggests a diagnosis of acute
infectious epiglottitis. This is the
radiographic corollary of the omega sign.
Thumb sign is a term also used in other
conditions:
•thumb sign (Marfan disease) (also known
as Steinberg sign) : a clinical test in which
the tip of the thumb is visible medial to
the little finger when it is clasped in the
clenched hand
•thumb sign (chordoma): a radiological sign
showing a clival tumour projection
indenting the pons

Radiological features of scurvy:
Generalized osteopenia
Cortical thinning: pencil thin cortex
Periosteal reaction due to subperiosteal
hemorrhage
Scorbutic rosary: expansion of the
costochondral junctions
Hemarthrosis
Wimberger ring: circular, opaque, radiological
shadow surrounding epiphyseal centers of
ossification, which may result from bleeding
Frankel line: dense zone of
provisional calcification
Trummerfeld zone: lucent
metaphyseal band underlying
frankel line.
Pelken spur: metaphyseal spurs
which result in cupping of the
metaphysis.

SPANDANA MD 10/10/2020
In the growing skeleton, the
deficiency of normal
mineralisation is most evident at
metaphyseal zones of provisional
calcification where there is an
excess of non-mineralised
osteoid resulting in growth plate
widening and abnormal
configuration of the metaphysis:
•fraying: indistinct margins of
the metaphysis
•splaying: widening of
metaphyseal ends
•cupping: concavity of
metaphysis 6
It is not surprising that these
features are most prominent at the
bones where growth is greatest:
•knee: distal femur, proximal tibia
•wrist: especially the ulna 1
•anterior rib ends: rachitic rosary
As osteomalacia co-occurs with
rickets, it is important to remember
that even bones that appear
mineralised are weak and result in
bowing, most commonly seen in the
lower limbs once the child is walking.
The legs bow outwards with variable
deformity of the hips (both coxa
vara and coxa valga are seen 1).
Other bone deformities are
also noted such as genu valga
and vara as well as protrusio
acetabuli .
The lower ribs may also be
drawn inwards inferiorly by
the attachment of the
diaphragm (Harrison's sulcus).
The differential for leg bowing
in children includes :
•developmental or congenital
bowing
•Blount disease
•osteogenesis imperfecta
•many others that are not
usually a consideration (see leg
bowing in children)
The differential for flaring of the
metaphysis includes:
•Anaemias
•fibrous dysplasia
•storage diseases
•chronic lead poisoning
•bone dysplasias
The differential for widening of
the growth plate includes:
•Schmid-type metaphyseal
chondrodysplasia
•hypovitaminosis C (scurvy)
•delayed maturation due to illness
•endocrine disturbances
• growth hormone excess
• hyperparathyroidism
• hypothyroidism

Renal osteodystrophy (ROD), also
known as uraemic osteopathy, is a
constellation of musculoskeletal
abnormalities that occur in patients
with chronic renal failure, due to
concurrent and superimposed:
•osteomalacia (adults)/rickets (childre
n)
•secondary hyperparathyroidism: abnor
mal calcium and phosphate metabolism
• bone resorption
• osteosclerosis
• soft tissue and vascular
calcifications
• brown tumours
•aluminium intoxication, e.g. if the
patient is on dialysis

Radiographic features
Imaging findings are many and varied:
•osteopenia: (often seen early) thinning of cortices
and trabeculae
•salt and pepper skull
•demineralisation: usually subperiosteal, however, it
may also involve joint margins, endosteal, subchondral,
subligamentous areas, cortical bone, or trabeculae
•subperiosteal resorption: characteristic subperiosteal
resorption may be seen on radial aspects of middle
phalanges of index and long fingers
•bone sclerosis
• diffuse bony sclerosis
• rugger jersey spine: sclerosis of the vertebral
body endplates
•soft tissue calcification
•amyloid deposition: erosion in and around joint
•insufficiency fractures
•Looser zone
•brown tumours

While plain radiographs may show joint
effusions and a loss of soft tissue
planes, there may not be an immediate
indication of bone infection.7 It may
take 10 to 14 days to show 30 to 50
percent of bone mineral loss before
osteomyelitic changes are evident.
A differential diagnosis for
radiographic bony lesions should include
osteomyelitis, leukemia, round cell
carcinomas, Ewing’s sarcoma, metastatic
neuroblastomas, eosinophilic granulomas,
histiocytosis X and tuberculosis.
If radiographs are normal and one
suspects osteomyelitis, proceed to
obtain technetium-99m bone scans.
However, keep in mind that while this
imaging is sensitive for certain bony
conditions, it is not specific.
