Specialists in Pediatric Imaging and Procedures
Pediatric radiologists excel in tailoring imaging protocols to children’s unique physiology, ensuring accuracy and safety in diagnosis. Their specialized expertise accounts for factors such as smaller body size, developing anatomy, and the need to minimize radiation exposure. This meticulous approach not only guarantees precise diagnoses but also prioritizes the comfort and well-being of young patients and their families. By employing child-friendly imaging techniques and fostering a supportive environment, pediatric radiologists play a vital role in alleviating anxiety and ensuring a positive experience during medical procedures for children.
Special exams and procedures conducted by pediatric radiologists include:
- MR Spectroscopy – This non-invasive MRI test helps identify the type and aggressiveness of tumors.
- Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography – A gentle procedure used to visualize blood vessels in the brain.
- Intraoperative MRI Equipment – Advanced technology used during surgeries for epilepsy and brain tumors, as well as for treating movement disorders like deep brain stimulation (DBS).
- Minimally invasive therapies – These procedures treat conditions such as osteoid osteoma, vascular malformations, deep vein thrombosis, and abscesses with minimal discomfort.
- Minimally invasive procedures – These gentle tests aid in diagnosing soft tissue and bone issues effectively.
