Abstract

There is a wide array of modalities available for imaging evaluation of the pediatric upper extremity. It is incumbent on radiologists in consultation with clinical colleagues to select the most appropriate imaging modalities that are both time and cost-effective, in keeping with the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle and the Image Gently campaign.
