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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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