Pediatric radiology focuses on appropriate and safe diagnostic imaging and intervention in children of all ages. In Ethiopia, a sub-Saharan developing country in East Africa, almost 60% of the population is in the pediatric age group. In the main referral general hospital of the country children make up 48% of the patient population. Currently, there is no pediatric radiologist in the country. The aim of this presentation is to describe the undertakings of the International Outreach in Pediatric Radiology Education Program in Ethiopia of the Department of Radiology, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), which is aiming to improve the existing situation. This program is carried out under the auspices of the World Federation of Pediatric Imaging (WFPI). Read More

Our children’s book bridges the gap between complex medical imaging and the curiosity of young minds, transforming intimidating machines into approachable learning tools. Through colorful illustrations, relatable characters, and age-appropriate language, it introduces children (and perhaps future radiologists) to the field of pediatric radiology in an engaging and exciting way. Our story walks young readers through common imaging modalities, including x-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound, making each process approachable and easy-to-understand. We then take our readers behind the scenes to the radiology reading room, exploring real life images and pediatric patient scenarios. By encouraging readers to act as the radiologist, analyze images, and check their own interpretations with labeled explanations, the book turns learning into an interactive experience. In this playful and educational approach, children can gain insight into pediatric radiology while building confidence around medical imaging. By demystifying the machines and processes, the book aims to reduce fear of typically “scary” machinery and foster curiosity in young readers. Ultimately, we seek to inspire the next generation, encouraging children to explore and perhaps pursue a future in pediatric radiology. Read More
