Imaging of Pediatric Airways: You Might Get Winded, Take a Deep Breath First

Purpose or Case Report: Medical imaging of the soft tissue of the neck or airway is one of the most common, and sometimes challenging, exams performed at a pediatric hospital. Imaging of the airway can help identify enlarged adenoids, the presence of a foreign body, an abscess, pathology or anatomical abnormality. It is crucial to understand the proper technique, breathing instructions and positioning in order to obtain optimal imaging for correct diagnosis. Different radiographic findings will be presented with examples of incorrect positioning, grid usage, exposure factors, artifacts and ways to improve the image quality. This poster will also provide technologists with tips and recommendations to help them to feel prepared and confident to work with all pediatric patients.
