RADIOL 420C

Pediatric Radiology

Caroline W. Carrico

Description from DukeHub

RADIOL 420C. Pediatric Radiology. Pediatric radiology is unique from other radiology subspecialties in that almost all imaging modalities (plain film, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, CT, MR examinations) and organ systems (e.g. brain and spine, chest, gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal system) are evaluated on a daily basis. Moreover, there are many disease processes and presentations that are unique to children. The importance of understanding normal vs abnormal development is also unique to pediatric imaging. Students can learn by observing patients, nurses, technologists and radiologists during image acquisition in pediatric fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT and MRI as well as in the reading room observing and helping the radiology residents, fellows and attendings protocol, interpret, and discuss pediatric imaging cases. The imaging modalities used to evaluate a child's injury or illness are openly discussed, during film interpretation. Each history is reviewed, clinical question addressed, and the exams are formulated to optimize obtainable information while minimizing patient risks (e.g. radiation exposure or need for sedation). Other learning tools include computer access to teaching file cases, online teaching files, daily case conferences and subspecialty multispecialty case conferences. Medical students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in preliminary film interpretation and to dictate several live cases that will be staffed by an attending radiologist. Two cases are to be selected and briefly presented at an interesting case conference. A rubric for the case presentation expectations will be provided. This case will be added to the division's electronic teaching file. There is an extensive 'to do' list to guide study and encourage physician and patient interaction. This 'to do' list is to be completed and turned in for assessment. A copy of Pediatric Radiology by Lane Donnelly is available for loan during the rotation, assigned reading also includes some selected articles from the pediatric radiology literature. A written or oral exam may be given at the end of the course. Two days of absence are allowed.

Skills

AI-resilient: 2 of 5

  • Yes: Physical, lab or field work · clinical rotation
  • Yes: Live work with people · "patients"
  • No: Judgment someone is accountable for
  • No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
  • No: Small, in-person format

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
