Pediatric Lung/Diaphragm

Sunday, April 7, 2024
9:00am - 10:30am  
Location:Governor's E - 4th Floor
CE: 1.5

Before chest CT and radiograph, think ultrasound! The perinatal lung and diaphragm are amenable to ultrasound assessment. Come learn the proper imaging technique and imaging findings of can't-miss antenatal and postnatal findings.

Prenatal detection and recognition of congenital lung lesions is essential to allow for the best prenatal counseling and to enable the best prenatal and perinatal planning, in addition to postnatal care for the affected fetus. Experience a comprehensive prenatal ultrasound imaging-based review of the different congenital pulmonary lesions that may be encountered, along with fetal MR imaging correlates.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain a standardized ultrasound imaging protocol to assess the antenatal and postnatal chest, and detect and diagnose the most common congenital pulmonary lesions with fetal ultrasound and fetal MR.
  • Recognize imaging findings of congenital lung lesions pre- and post-natal, and recognize a thorough differential for congenital pulmonary lung lesions.
  • Describe imaging findings of pediatric diaphragmatic pathology and the benefits of utilizing fetal ultrasound and fetal MR in the detection and quantification of the lesions.
