Abstract
Indications for paediatric interventional radiology are growing rapidly, with high volume, low complexity work, for example vascular access and enteric procedures, dominating.Many image guided procedures are easier in children than in adults, and only vascular access is consistently more difficult.The choice of sedation or general anaesthesia for intervention in children depends upon the nature of the procedure, patient characteristics, operator preference and institutional practice.Ultrasound scanning is often preferred to CT for image guidance in aspiration and biopsy procedures in children.Biopsy of childhood tumours should only be performed in recognized paediatric oncology centres.Airway intervention in children requires specialized skills and the support of an interdisciplinary team, in contrast to diagnostic bronchography, which can be performed in any children's hospital.
