Abstract
Information regarding the frequency, location, imaging criteria, and diagnostic clues of pediatric bone and soft-tissue lesions, either benign or malignant, are described in several excellent radiology text books [1, 2]. Ideally, this information is sufficiently known to radiologist such that these pathologies can be diagnosed quickly and confidently. In current practice, the radiologist’s job can be described as comprising three essential responsibilities.
