Educational Objectives

Educational Aim:

The article aims to audit the diagnostic yield, accuracy, and safety of paediatric image-guided FNAB with ROSE for suspected non-benign deep-seated lesions, highlighting its efficacy in tumour diagnosis.

Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of:

          1. Understanding the efficacy of image-guided FNAB with ROSE in diagnosing deep-seated paediatric tumours.

          2. Recognizing the importance of MRI findings, like restricted diffusion, in guiding sampling for accuracy.

          3. Learning about the safety and complications of this diagnostic approach in paediatric patients.
