Activity Expires September 14, 2027
Activity Description
The session will focus on imaging findings of metabolic and genetic disorders of childhood that affect bone mineral density. The session will review the impact of growth on the manifestation of metabolic disorders, and how these disorders affect bone formation. The session will also discuss the diagnosis by imaging of complications that can arise from abnormal bone metabolism in children.

Learning Objectives
- Describe the key anatomic and imaging features of pediatric metabolic bone disease, including the roles of the physis, zone of provisional calcification, metaphysis, epiphysis, and periosteum in endochondral and intramembranous ossification.
- Differentiate common pediatric metabolic bone disorders on imaging, including rickets, renal osteodystrophy, hypophosphatasia, scurvy, osteogenesis imperfecta, lead toxicity, osteopetrosis, Gaucher disease, and mucopolysaccharidoses.
- Apply radiographic patterns to clinical diagnosis and management considerations, including recognizing disease distribution, distinguishing metabolic bone disease from trauma or non-accidental injury, and minimizing radiation exposure during pediatric imaging.
Instructions
Clinicians and Technologists are required to answer a set of online test questions following the review of the video and will have up to three attempts to answer questions correctly before losing credit for the activity. Once the activity test has been passed (75% or higher), you will be asked to evaluate the activity online and then be allowed to claim credit and print certificates.

Attending Radiologist
Hospital for Special Surgery
Dr. Jaramillo is a pediatric radiologist specialized in imaging musculoskeletal disorders in children. He began his career as a pediatric radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital at Harvard Medical School. From 2004 to 2015 he was Radiologist-in-Chief and Van Alen Chair of Radiology at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Professor of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He has been a Vice Chair of Radiology at Stanford University and the Interim Chair of Radiology at Columbia University. He is currently the Director of Pediatric Imaging at the Hospital for Special Surgery and a Professor of Radiology at the Weill Cornell College of Medicine. He has been the President and Board Chair of the Society for Pediatric Radiology. His research has focused on the study of growth disorders using novel imaging technologies, mainly MRI-based, with both basic and transIational approaches. He has been the principal investigator of 3 major grants from the NIH. His current research focuses on studies of skeletal growth using diffusion tensor imaging of the physeal cartilage and newly formed metaphyseal bone, a technique he developed. He has published more than 170 peer reviewed publications and more than 100 reviews, chapters and case reports.
