Pediatric Radiology
Our compassionate board-certified pediatric radiologists are assisted by nurses and technologists, trained in working with infants, children and teenagers. Before their exam, children are encouraged to play with the child-friendly Philips Kitten Scanner. Designed to reduce a child’s fear and anxiety, children may place their toy inside the scanner to view real MRI scans of the toy and watch the images alive through animation.
To help make children’s radiology exams a comfortable and positive experience, parents are encouraged to remain with their children during radiology procedures. Pregnant mothers may accompany their children to the procedure room, but may not remain during the exam.
The following procedures are offered:
- CT (Cat Scan)
- Nuclear Medicine
- MRI
- X-Ray
- Ultrasound
- Interventional Radiology
