Abstract:
A historical review of paediatric radiology is presented in the light of the 100th anniversary of the Royal Belgian Rodiological Society and the 25th anniversary of Belgian Paediatric Radiology. Key events in the evolution of paediatric radiology are summarized: the early years of radiology on children, the different measurements used to avoid harmful x-ray effects and up to date medical imaging. Some of the most important associations of radiopaediatrics are mentioned, as well as the importance of immobilization of the young patient resulting in specific x-ray instruments.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
