PEDIATRIC Imaging

Pediatric radiology is a subspecialty of diagnostic radiology focused on children, from babies through to young adults. Pediatric radiologists have specialized knowledge of the illnesses and medical conditions uniquely associated with infants, children, and young people. They can quickly and accurately diagnose these conditions, from acute illness or injury to chronic disease, with a variety of imaging techniques. Pediatric radiologists are highly trained to understand which tests are most appropriate for a child, insure the testing is safe and carried out properly, and to skillfully interpret these tests.
