Guideline adherence and quality assurance in radiological diagnostics in cases of suspected child abuse in Germany

CONCLUSION: In Germany, a guideline-compliant procedure in the event of suspected child abuse is largely lacking. It remains to be seen whether this will change in the future with the broader implementation of child protection groups and the S3+ child protection guideline adopted in 2019 (AWMF register 027-069). The establishment of reference centers for a second diagnosis and recommendations for imaging technology can also improve the quality of care over the long term.PMID:34213624 | DOI:10.1007/s00117-021-00872-w
