I am proficient in modalities such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, and X-ray, with a focus on minimizing radiation exposure in children. I adhere to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles, use child-friendly protocols, and ensure proper shielding. Communication with parents and caregivers is key to addressing concerns and ensuring cooperation during imaging.

Pediatric patients require tailored approaches due to their developing anatomy and varying cooperation levels. I use age-appropriate techniques, such as distraction methods or sedation when necessary, to obtain high-quality images. I also collaborate closely with pediatricians to understand clinical contexts and provide accurate, child-specific diagnoses.

I once diagnosed a rare congenital anomaly in a newborn using advanced MRI techniques. The case required detailed imaging and collaboration with neonatologists and surgeons. By providing precise imaging and clear communication, we developed a treatment plan that improved the child’s outcome, highlighting the importance of teamwork in pediatric radiology.

I regularly attend conferences, participate in pediatric radiology societies, and read peer-reviewed journals. I also engage in continuous education courses to stay informed about emerging technologies and best practices. This ensures I provide the most current and effective diagnostic and treatment options for my patients.

I use clear, non-technical language to explain findings and their implications. I emphasize empathy and patience, ensuring parents understand the diagnosis and next steps. Visual aids, such as annotated images, help clarify complex concepts, fostering trust and collaboration in the child’s care.
