Final Pr. ID: Poster #: EDU-125
Chest radiographs remain the most frequently used examination in patients presenting with acute complains, adult and children alike. In many pediatric conditions, an abnormal finding on a chest radiograph may be the first clue available. In this educational exhibit, a systematic approach in the evaluation of pediatric chest radiographs is provided. With the use of mnemonic “In the ER, Look and Listen for Most oBvious Signs!”, the reader will navigate through the essential components of the evaluation with Exposure, Rotation, Lines, Lung fields, Mediastinum, Bones and Soft tissues.

Final Pr. ID: Poster #: SCI-041
Ingested foreign bodies (FB) are frequently encountered in the pediatric population, whether accidental or deliberate and may lodge in the airways or esophagus. Metallic FB (e.g., coins, button batteries, magnets) are radio-opaque and easily detected on radiographs, conversely non-metallic objects (e.g., plastic toys, food) are radiolucent and often require CT, leading to diagnostic delays. The purpose of this study is to assess sensitivity for chest radiography and chest CT for endoscopically proven airway and esophageal food and non-food FBs. Read More
