Identification of Pediatric Foot Disorder using Imaging Techniques

Antonio Gomez

Imaging tests are performed on infants and kids to assess a wide range of inherited and acquired diseases. Imaging procedures must take the patient's comfort, anxiety level, and smaller size into account. Plain radiographs are typically used for the initial imaging study. The Anteroposterior (AP), lateral, and oblique projections are included in the standard radiography examination of the foot. Due to its higher soft tissue contrast and spatial resolution, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides good anatomic detail of cartilage, vascular, and soft tissue, making it useful in many situations. We can perform Computed Tomography (CT), CT imaging, or MRI imaging in accordance with the clinical and objective signs, as shown by the radiograph images. The non-ossified sections of the bones are not clearly defined by CT imaging, which is a drawback given that radiation is used. On the other hand, because of its higher contrast and spatial resolution, MRI imaging is particularly helpful in identifying the cartilaginous components, vascular, and soft tissues. Finally, it's critical to employ the most appropriate diagnostic technique and to frame the diagnostic procedure around the patient's clinical symptoms.
