Participants

Patrick David Barnes MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Review the neuroimaging findings in nonaccidental injury (NAI) as well as in the mimics of NAI. 2) Review the role of neuroimaging in the clinical and forensic evaluation of children with suspected nonaccidental injury. 3) Correlate the neuroimaging findings with neuropathology and biomechanics in NAI versus accidental injury and nontraumatic mimics. 4) Review the role of the radiologist as a medicolegal consultant and expert witness in cases of alleged NAI.
