Making pediatric imaging easier for kids
Imaging tests can be overwhelming for a child. Whenever possible, parents or caregivers may stay with their child during exams. We also have child life specialists who use age-appropriate language and support techniques.
Pediatric CT and X-ray imaging
We perform CT scans and X-rays using pediatric-specific protocols that markedly minimize radiation exposure. Exams are tailored to your child’s age and size and are completed as efficiently as possible to reduce stress and discomfort.
Pediatric MRI and fetal MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields, not radiation, to create detailed images of organs and soft tissues. We offer pediatric and fetal MRI to support diagnosis before and after birth. Our teams help children stay comfortable during longer exams and communicate with them throughout the scan.
Specialized gastrointestinal and urinary imaging
We offer advanced imaging studies to evaluate digestive and urinary conditions in children, including MRI-based and fluoroscopic exams. Each study is carefully planned to meet your child’s needs.
All types of pediatric imaging
Imaging tests can help diagnose fractures, tumors, and many other conditions in children. We use the latest imaging technology to make an accurate diagnosis and guide treatment decisions.
