POLICY STATEMENT

Diagnostic Imaging of Child Abuse

Section on Radiology

The role of imaging in cases of child abuse is to identify the extent of physical injury when abuse is present and to elucidate all imaging findings that point to alternative diagnoses. Effective diagnostic imaging of child abuse rests on high-quality technology as well as a full appreciation of the clinical and pathologic alterations occurring in abused children. This statement is a revision of the previous policy published in 2000.

Key Words: diagnostic imaging • child abuse • injury • trauma

Abbreviations: CT—computed tomography • DWI—diffusion-weighted imaging
