Multiple ossification centers in children may appear as separate bones or fragments but are normal anatomical variations.

Open fontanelles and sutures in infants allow for brain growth and may be misinterpreted as skull fractures if not recognized.

MRI findings of medulloblastoma in children differ in location and characteristics from adult posterior fossa tumors.

Imaging findings in pediatric cystic fibrosis patients can include bronchiectasis and mucus plugging, which may progress differently from adults.

The classic 'steeple sign' on a pediatric neck x-ray indicates subglottic narrowing seen in croup, not typically observed in adults.

In pediatric patients, SCFE appears as a displacement of the femoral head and may be missed if not assessed on frog-leg lateral views.

In Perthes disease, x-rays can show fragmentation and collapse of the femoral head, affected by the vascular supply unique to pediatric patients.

In pediatric patients, ultrasound is the preferred initial imaging modality for suspected appendicitis to avoid radiation exposure.

Pediatric kidneys can have increased echogenicity on ultrasound due to their relative immaturity compared to adult kidneys.

Buckle (torus) fractures are common in children due to softer bones and may not be as visible as adult fractures on imaging.

Reactive cervical lymphadenopathy is common in pediatric imaging due to frequent viral infections, usually benign compared to adults.

Pediatric bones have lower mineral density and show more pronounced periosteal reactions than adults.

Pediatric hearts can appear relatively larger on an x-ray compared to adults, affected by age and respiratory phase.

Pediatric lung fields may show increased prominence of the pulmonary markings due to the relative size of blood vessels to the lung parenchyma.

The thymus is larger in children and can be mistaken for pathology; it normally involutes with age.

Ultrasound is diagnostic for pediatric intussusception, whereas in adults, it is more often incidental or identified on computed tomography (CT).

Chest x-rays in pediatric bronchiolitis often show hyperinflation and peribronchial thickening, often different from adults with similar symptoms.

Pediatric abdominal organs can appear relatively enlarged due to body size, with normal variations that differ from adults.

MRI imaging of the pediatric brain shows different myelination patterns than in adults, affecting signal intensity.

Certain pediatric liver tumors, such as hepatoblastoma, are more prevalent in children and have different imaging characteristics than in adults.

Pediatric vascular rings can cause tracheoesophageal compression and are best evaluated with MRI or CT, different from imaging choices in adults.

MRI patterns of injury in HIE in neonates differ significantly compared to adults with hypoxic or ischemic brain injury.

Growth plates in pediatric imaging can be mistaken for fractures; however, they are normal findings in growing bones.

Pediatric neuroblastoma presents with different imaging findings compared to adult cancers, often with calcifications and cross midline.
