RC 212 - Novel techniques in paediatric pulmonary imaging

1. To discuss technical differences between energy integrating detector (EID) and photon counting (PCD) multi-energy CT.
2. To review dual energy applications in the paediatric chest on a photon counting detector platform.
3. To learn unique features of photon counting CT not available in prior generation dual energy CTs.

1. To be informed about the new possibility of examining the child's lung in real-time with MRI, without motion artefacts and without sedation.

1. To name and identify three practical lung MRI sequences in children and
common practical applications of lung MRI in children.
2. To compare results of lung MRI with CT scan and other diagnostic modalities in children.
3. To describe and reflect on the use of functional lung MRI in children.

1. To identify and reflect on both the advantages and disadvantages of paediatric lung ultrasound.
2. To compare the use of lung ultrasound to other diagnostic modalities.
3. To adapt the use of lung ultrasound to everyday clinical situations.
