Pediatric
Description of division:
The Division of Pediatric Radiology is located in the Department of Medical Imaging at Children's Hospital of Western Ontario. Here, families have access to state-of-the-art imaging technologies, including x-rays, ultrasound, CT, and MRI, in a safe and comforting environment. We specialize in:
- Imaging for infants and children with imaging equipment that has been adapted for children
- Specialized pediatric sedation and anesthesia capabilities, tailored to ensure a safe and comforting experience for your child
- Safe, low-dose imaging
Our pediatric radiologists interpret every scan and perform every procedure, providing expertise that will help you and your child’s doctor make the best decisions about care.
