Pediatric
Radiology

Pediatric imaging is a subspecialty of diagnostic imaging which recognizes the truth of the adage that “children are not small adults.” The evaluation of the unique diseases of childhood and the emotional needs of the pediatric patient differ significantly from the adult patient, and our pediatric imaging specialists are trained to optimally manage these differences. The technologists in our hospitals have also been specially trained by our pediatric radiology specialists, so that superior images can be obtained with the least amount of discomfort and anxiety for an infant or child.
