Pelvis radiograph (pediatric)
The radiography of the pelvis in the pediatric patient varies greatly from the adult examination; particularly as specialized techniques are often required to immobilize the patient. To avoid future mobility and pain complications, it is essential to treat fractures and correct developmental pat...
Article
Babygram
Babygram is a radiograph that captures the newborn's entire body, including limbs.
Some authors refer to chest and abdominal radiograph of the baby as "thoracoabdominal babygram" 4.
Indications
Babygram is done in post-mortem studies of the stillborn foetus or after the termination of pregnan...
Article
Limb deficiency
Limb deficiencies or limb reduction defects are a spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders characterized by the absence or severe hypoplasia of a limb or part of a limb 1,2.
Terminology
Currently (c. 2024) the preferred terminology for limb deficiencies is based on the anatomic classification. Te...

Baumann angle
Baumann angle, also known as the humeral-capitellar angle, is used for the evaluation of the displacement of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures. It is measured on a frontal radiograph, with elbow in extension.
This angle is formed by the humeral axis and a straight line through the epiph...

Pediatric knee (AP view)
The anteroposterior knee view for pediatrics is one of two views in order to examine the knee joint, patella, distal femur and proximal tibia and fibula. Depending on the child's age and the departmental protocol, additional views such as the skyline and intercondyler views may also be performed...
Article
Pediatric hand (lateral view)
The lateral hand view for pediatrics is an orthogonal view taken along with the PA view of the hand. The lateral view is used to primarily assess for foreign bodies and/or displacement of fractures/dislocations.
Indications
This view is useful in assessing suspected dislocations, fractures or ...
Article
Pediatric humerus (lateral view)
The lateral humerus view for pediatrics is part of the humerus series and is usually taken in a standing position. However, it can also be obtained in a supine position.
The projection demonstrates the humerus orthogonal to the AP view, allowing for adequate radiographic examination of the enti...
Article
Pediatric humerus (AP view)
The anteroposterior humerus view for pediatrics is part of the humerus series and is usually taken in a standing position. However, it can also be obtained in a supine position.
The projection demonstrates the humerus in its natural anatomical position allowing for adequate radiographic examina...
Article
Pediatric thumb (AP/PA view)
The anteroposterior (AP) or posteroanterior (PA) view of the thumb in pediatrics is part of a two view series and is orthogonal to the lateral view. Often the decision to choose between the AP or PA thumb depends on what the child can manage and how agitated they are. An AP thumb is ideal as the...
Article
Pediatric thumb (lateral view)
The lateral thumb view for pediatrics is part of a two view series examining the distal metacarpal, distal and proximal phalanges.
Indications
This projection is useful for diagnosing fractures and localizing foreign bodies in pediatric patients. It also presents as an orthogonal view of the ...
Article
Pediatric chest (PA erect view)
The posteroanterior erect chest view is often performed in older pediatric patients; when the patient is able to cooperate with sitting or standing erect. This chest view examines the lungs, bony thoracic cavity, mediastinum and great vessels.
Indications
The PA erect view is often chosen over...
Article
Pediatric chest (AP erect view)
The anteroposterior erect chest view is ideal in younger cooperative pediatric patients (approximately 3-7 years old; this age range is only a guide). This chest view examines the lungs, bony thoracic cavity, mediastinum and great vessels.
Indications
The AP erect view is often chosen over th...
Article
Pediatric chest (supine view)
In pediatric imaging, the anteroposterior supine chest x-ray is beneficial for imaging unconscious or uncooperative patients.
Indications
This view is preferred in infant and neonate imaging, whilst AP erect and PA erect views are ideal for children able to cooperate in sitting or standing 1.

Article
Foot (weight-bearing lateral view)
The weight-bearing lateral foot radiograph is important in the assessment of foot alignment and the diagnosis of abnormalities that cause malalignment and foot pain. Nonweightbearing views (e.g. lateral foot) would be inadequate for the assessment of alignment as the bones of the feet are not in...
Article
Foot series (pediatric)
The foot series for pediatrics consists of a dorsoplantar (DP), medial oblique and a lateral projection. Depending on the child's age and the departmental protocol, the medial oblique view may or may not be performed.
Indications
trauma with suspected fracture
suspected dislocation
...
Article
Pediatric hip (abduction-internal rotation view)
The abduction-internal rotation view (AIR view), also known as the Von Rosen view, is a radiographic projection of the hip demonstrating the relationship between the femoral head and the acetabulum.
Indications
The von Rosen view is used in the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip i...
Article
Finger series (pediatric)
The finger series for pediatrics often consist of a posteroanterior and lateral view only in order to minimize radiation dose to the patient. Depending on the department and clinical indication, an additional oblique view may also be done.
Indications
trauma with suspected fracture
suspected...
Article
Pediatric thumb (oblique view)
The oblique thumb view in pediatrics is an additional projection for thumb imaging. Typically, this view is not performed unless specified by the referring doctor or radiologist.
Indications
For pediatrics, this oblique view is only indicated when specifically requested. This view may help to...
