A review of imaging protocols for suspected skeletal dysplasia and a proposal for standardisation

Sarah G Watson et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2015 Nov.

Abstract

Expert radiology opinions are often requested to aid diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias or dysostoses, but due to variability in the imaging protocols used at different centres the views presented may be considered inadequate or incomplete resulting in diagnostic delays and increased patient and family anxiety. We propose the introduction of a standardised protocol that may be adapted in certain specific situations.

Keywords: Child; Diagnosis; Expert opinion; Protocol; Radiographic skeletal survey; Skeletal dysplasia.
