Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis: Emphasis on Early Recognition
Dan Rosenbaum

This presentation will review the modern imaging approach to slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), focusing on new insights into pathomechanics, appropriate imaging technique, and role of cross-sectional imaging.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Identify early physeal changes in SCFE with particular attention to the significance of the epiphyseal tubercle.
- Highlight the importance of imaging both hips in avoiding common diagnostic pitfalls.
- Illustrate the role of cross-sectional imaging in detection of early slips and surgical planning.

Common Upper Extremity Pediatric Sports Injuries
Heba Takrouri

This presentation will concentrate on essential knowledge for general practitioner radiologists regarding common acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries in the upper extremities of pediatric athletes. It will address normal skeletal growth and highlight several common imaging pitfalls.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Recognize common patterns of acute and chronic overuse injuries affecting the upper extremity in pediatric athletes.
- Describe the imaging features of some of the common sports related upper extremity injuries in pediatric patients.
- Differentiate these pathologic entities from imaging features associated with normal growth and development.

Non-accidental Trauma: An Imaging Update
Sebastian Benali

An imaging update on what a general practitioner radiologist should know on non accidental trauma, with an emphasis on performing/interpreting adequately skeletal surveys.

By the end of this session, participants will be better able to:
- Review and apply the ACR guidelines on skeletal surveys
- Recognize the specific type of fracture/injury of a non-accidental trauma
- Provide a differential diagnosis
- Report appropriate findings

Imaging of SI Joints in Children – Updates from a Challenging Area
Jacob Jaremko

Sacroiliac joints (SIJ) are a complex anatomic region to assess, and are even more difficult in children due to the way normal growth and development mimic pathology. We will review the latest advances in techniques for SI joint imaging and the latest understanding of normal variation vs. sacroiliitis.

By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Identify the essential MRI findings of active inflammation and structural damage in sacroiliitis.
- Review evidence-based rules to distinguish between normal variation and pathology at the sacroiliac joint (SIJ).
