Imaging the bone marrow in children, as with any other aspect of paediatric imaging requires an understanding of the normal variations which can occur with growth and maturation. This is particularly relevant to the bone marrow as there is significant variation in appearance during childhood because of the haemopoietic requirements of the growing child.

This talk will emphasise the best approach to imaging the marrow, highlight the changes with age and illustrate a variety of pathological conditions. The pathologies covered will include sickle cell disease, avascular necrosis, leukaemias, metastatic disease, traumatic changes and storage disorders.
An overview of the more advanced imaging techniques, such as dynamic contrast enhancement and diffusion imaging will be discussed. The limitations of imaging and the correlation with clinical findings will be highlighted.
