Pediatric Bone Densitometry Course - October 2024
Pediatric Bone Densitometry Course is organized by International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) and will be held on Oct 19, 2024.
Course Description
The Pediatric Bone Densitometry Course provides current research and best-practice techniques for the acquisition and interpretation of bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents. This educational program is designed to improve learner competence in pediatric bone densitometry. By completing this course, attendees will gain conceptual and practical knowledge that can be applied in their professional practices.
Learning Objectives
After attending the course, participants should be better prepared to:
• Recognize considerations and concerns with skeletal assessment in children and adolescents with a variety of medical conditions.
• Identify the most appropriate and reproducible sites for densitometry in children and adolescents.
• Evaluate technical aspects of bone assessment in children and adolescents.
• Describe the uses of measurement tools for acquiring bone densitometry assessments by DXA and other modalities.
• Summarize the elements to be included in a pediatric DXA report.
