Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Airway Anatomy

Background:

  • Radiological evaluation of the airway is a long-standing screening tool and adjunct to endoscopy.
  • It offers non-invasive structural data, often avoiding general anesthesia risks.
  • Standard radiographs and fluoroscopy provide some pediatric airway anatomy information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility of radiology in evaluating infant and child airways.
  • To showcase advancements in radiological imaging for airway assessment.
  • To emphasize the role of radiology as a diagnostic aid.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current radiological techniques for airway evaluation.
  • Discussion of standard radiography, fluoroscopy, CT, and MRI applications.
