ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Musculoskeletal imaging serves a critical role in clinical care and orthopaedic research. Image-based modeling is also gaining traction as a useful tool in understanding skeletal morphology and mechanics. However, there are fewer studies on advanced imaging and modeling in pediatric populations. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of recent literature on skeletal imaging modalities and modeling techniques with a special emphasis on current and future uses in pediatric research and clinical care. RECENT FINDINGS:
While many principles of imaging and 3D modeling are relevant across the lifespan, there are special considerations for pediatric musculoskeletal imaging and fewer studies of 3D skeletal modeling in pediatric populations. Improved understanding of bone morphology and growth during childhood in healthy and pathologic patients may provide new insight into the pathophysiology of pediatric-onset skeletal diseases and the biomechanics of bone development. Clinical translation of 3D modeling tools developed in orthopaedic research is limited by the requirement for manual image segmentation and the resources needed for segmentation, modeling, and analysis. This paper highlights the current and future uses of common musculoskeletal imaging modalities and 3D modeling techniques in pediatric orthopaedic clinical care and research.Palavras-chave
