Abstract

Children are not small adults. The signs, symptoms, and disease in pediatric patients often differ considerably from those in adults. A history gathered from parents suggesting a gastrointestinal cause for symptoms may be misleading. The clinician has to evaluate the entire patient and take a complete history to ensure that unnecessary examinations are not performed. It behooves the radiologist to be aware of these problems in diagnosis, and to develop a close rapport with the clinicians to ensure that the patient receives no unnecessary radiation or discomfort in solving a diagnostic dilemma.
