Pediatric Imaging Scientific Interest Group
The pediatric population is currently under-served radiologically. The Pediatric Imaging Scientific Interest Group will promote the development and use of translational imaging methods to monitor milestones in normal and abnormal development, to assess and enhance fetal and child health, to help diagnose childhood diseases, and to assess the effects of trauma in the pediatric population. Attention will be given to promoting the development of quantitative imaging methods and disseminating their use in pilot studies and clinical trials.
People interested in this group might be interested in autism and other developmental disorders, childhood schizophrenia and other diseases afflicting children, pediatric neuroimaging, developing imaging markers for childhood diseases and disorders, normal brain development, pediatric oncology and cancer diagnosis, pediatric surgery and neurosurgery, PET, MRI, CT physics, image processing, design of clinical trials, group analysis and more.
The group moderator is Carlo Pierpaoli of NICHD's Program on Pediatric Imaging and Tissue Sciences in the Section on Tissue Biophysics and Biomimetics.
