Abstract

The author of this paper reflects on the reality of pediatric radiology practice and pinpoints several constraints identified in the literature, constraints that limit the development of the role of pediatric radiologists and radiographers and therefore compromise the quality of medical imaging care delivered to the children. There is a need to build a pediatric imaging family of dedicated radiographers and radiologists at every hospital that has a radiology department. This strategy could improve the quality of the 350 million pediatric imaging procedures performed every year.
