What you will cover in this lecture
This spine surgery lecture is about radiology and imaging in paediatric deformities. It covers the use of standard X-rays of the spine, and the differences between the imaging protocols for adults and children. The dose reduction strategy and the use of special X-rays which are taken in bending or different orientations are discussed in detail, followed by a description of the various parameters that can be measured on these X-rays such as Cobb or Ferguson angles. The appropriate use of CT and MRI is discussed with the help of clinical examples. Finally, the use of bone scans for narrowing the area to be imaged is examined with clinical examples of tumours.
Learning Objectives
- The correct selection of imaging modalities in deformity examination
- Objectively measure the deformity and calculate various angles
- Gain additional information using standard investigation
- Role of EOS
