AI in Pediatrics Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Why might an AI trained on adult X-rays misread a ten-year-old's bone image?
   • Children's X-rays are always in color
   • Normal growth plates in children can resemble fracture lines in adults
   • Children's bones do not appear on X-rays
   • Pediatric X-rays use no radiation
2. What does the HeRO monitor analyze to estimate sepsis risk in premature infants?
   • Heart rate characteristics such as variability and decelerations
   • Blood glucose readings every hour
   • Parent-reported feeding diaries
   • Chest X-ray images
3. What role does Cognoa's Canvas Dx, authorized by the FDA in 2021, play in autism care?
   • It replaces the need for any clinician
   • It is a genetic test for autism
   • It treats autism with behavioral games
   • It is an aid that supports clinicians in diagnosing autism in young children
4. Which reason does the guide give for pediatric datasets being small?
   • Children's data is never stored electronically
   • Hospitals are banned from using children's data in research
   • Children are healthier on average and rare diseases are spread thin
   • Pediatric images are too large to store
5. Why do practitioners report pediatric model accuracy by age band?
   • Regulators forbid pooled numbers
   • A pooled figure can hide poor performance in the youngest group
   • Age bands make the model train faster
   • Older children cannot be imaged
6. What is the risk of fine-tuning an adult-pretrained network on a small pediatric dataset?
   • It can import adult assumptions, so external validation is still essential
   • It always makes the model worse than random
   • It deletes the pediatric data
   • It cannot run on hospital computers
7. Which approach lets several children's hospitals train a shared model without pooling raw patient data?
   • Bone age estimation
   • Data augmentation
   • Alert fatigue reduction
   • Federated learning
8. What misconception about adult AI tools does the guide warn against?
   • That they are too expensive for children's hospitals
   • That they cannot read digital images
   • That they can simply be used on children without separate validation
   • That they require parental consent to run
