[DIGITAL TOMOSYNTHESIS IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS: OPPORTUNITIES AND PROMISES (REVIEW)].

Digital tomosynthesis (TS) are modern methods of low-dose x-ray diagnostics, which allows to obtain a significant number of layered images with the possibility of volumetric image reconstruction. The technology makes it possible to analyze a vast anatomical zone in one pass of the x-ray tube, to diagnose difficult-to-distinguish pathological changes that are not visible in digital radiography without losing the quality of the images, which is especially important in pediatric practice. The present literature data is devoted to the possibilities of using TS in the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases in children, as well as the prospects for further development of the methods to solve specific problems associated with the examination of children's patients.
