Age matters
• Sensorimotor Stage (Birth - Age 2)
• Preoperational Stage (Ages 2 - 7)
• Concrete Operational Stage (Ages 7 - 11)
• Formal Operational Stage (Ages 11+)
![Page 19: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sensorimotor Stage (Birth - Age 2)
• Respond to the world around them
through reflexes and random behaviors
• May be helpful to allow the child to
examine and explore instruments that will
be used in the imaging study, as this
provides the child with sensory stimulation
• Stranger anxiety begins to develop at
approximately 9 months
![Page 20: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Preoperational Stage (Ages 2 - 7)
• Can use a symbol, object, gesture, or
word to represent something and can
begin to think about past and future events
• Concrete thinking
• Egocentric
• May believe that a medical procedure is
punishment for the child having been
"bad"
![Page 21: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Concrete Operational Stage (Ages 7 - 11)
• Can now apply logic
• More able to classify information in sophisticated
ways, understand the concepts of time and
space, and distinguish fantasy from reality
• Can not yet think in abstract, hypothetical terms.
• Cooperate best with an exam if the child feels
that she is a part of decisions about the exam:
allow the child to pick between two acceptable
options
![Page 22: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Formal Operational Stage (Ages 11+)
• Able to think abstractly, relativistically, and
hypothetically
• During adolescence, there may be some
renewed egocentrism, characterized by
self-consciousness, self-criticism, and self-
admiration
• Respect privacy
• Include patient in all conversations
![Page 23: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Peds Radiology this is Dr. _______ may I help you?
![Page 25: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Consults
• Phone or in person
• Listen to history and question
• Know your limits
• Ask upper level or attending as needed
• Always be professional and courteous
• If they don’t know you, don’t ask your opinion & don’t care what you think then you can easily be replaced by the lowest bidder or AI
![Page 26: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Peds US
• Scan, scan scan!!
• Review other imaging studies
• Answer question– Protocols vs problem solving
– Pediatric abdomen is abdomen and limited pelvis
– r/o appendicitis limited to bowel
• Review with attending
• Scan, scan scan!!
![Page 27: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
CT
protocols
• Review request & history-add pelvis? Eliminate pelvis? CTA or routine? Extra recons needed?
• Review prior imaging– Decrease dose?
• kV, mAs
• Extent of imaging
– Omit iv contrast?
– Exact scanning protocol will depend on scanner
• Protocols should be done 2 weeks in advance to allow time for preauthorization and any necessary changes
• Dictate amount and type of iv contrast and specific technique in the technique section of your report
![Page 28: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
MR protocols
• Review request, hx & prior imaging– add dedicated pelvis to the abdomen?
– Gyn vs MSK pelvis vs AVN vs tumor
– Discuss/Dictate with peds attending-Protocols should be done 2 weeks in advance to allow time for preauthorization and any necessary changes
– Dictate amount and type of contrast (Dotarem unless very good reason) and scanner 1.5 vs 3T
– Dictate sedation or goggles if any, if known

through the department

![Page 30: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Peds noon conferences• Twice a month
• Review peds curriculum topics in rotating fashion
• Try to avoid repeating cases or recent topics
• First conference faculty conference
– Didactic following curriculum
• Second conference- resident conference with
faculty mentor (see Peds schedule)
– Didactic or case based
![Page 31: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Our Goals for your rotation
• High quality patient imaging
• Solid and comprehensive education for
medical students, radiology residents and
other trainees
• Research and QI opportunities
• Lots of material
• Lots of potential
![Page 32: Welcome to Peds!](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060120/6292f98be5afba4d281b9a7b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hopefully all with leave Pediatric
radiology and go on to grow up
