Abstract

Imaging of musculoskeletal infections in children often differs from that of adults because of several factors, including inability to localize disease, potential need for sedation, and transphyseal spread of infection in infants.

We present the different types of imaging modalities with their respective advantages and disadvantages and also the imaging findings unique to pediatric patients.
