Children experience unique medical conditions that may require unique imaging and diagnostic services. At the Children's Hospital of New York, our pediatric radiologists specialize in performing advanced, comprehensive imaging services for children of all ages. Using the newest generation of low-dose equipment specifically designed for children, we provide your child with accurate and timely results that help you make informed choices to optimize their health and wellbeing.
About Our Program
At the Children's Hospital of New York, we perform tens of thousands of imaging studies each year. Our board-certified pediatric radiologists harness the latest knowledge and the most advanced imaging technologies to evaluate your child expertly.
We have a long, proud tradition of developing and refining diagnostic imaging services for children. Our pediatric radiologists were the first to describe many of the classic X-ray appearances of pediatric diseases. We are continuing this tradition, using state-of-the-art technologies.
We equip our imaging facilities with the most technologically advanced equipment, specially designed or adapted for children. Because children are more sensitive to the effects of radiation used in imaging, we are committed to using the lowest dose procedures and equipment while still providing outstanding diagnostic service. We are active participants in the Image Gently Alliance's Image Gently initiative, a campaign founded by the Society for Pediatric Radiology to provide safe, high-quality pediatric imaging nationwide.
Our staff includes not only pediatric radiologists but dedicated pediatric neuroradiologists to interpret brain and spine studies. Our pediatric anesthesiologists supervise all procedures that require sedation to help your child relax and remain comfortable and still during an imaging exam. Our team also includes child life specialists whose goal is to help your child feel secure, comforted, and understand what is going on.
We understand the unique needs of children, parents, and pediatricians. We work collaboratively as part of your child's healthcare team to provide image interpretation promptly to facilitate an accurate and efficient diagnosis, so your child receives the best possible care.
