About our service
Medical imaging, also known as radiology or diagnostic imaging, uses non-invasive imaging methods to help doctors to diagnose and treat your child’s illness.
We use X-rays, CT scan (CAT scan or Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and ultrasound to produce images of the body. We interpret the images and send the report to your child’s doctor.
We're skilled at addressing your child's needs; our child-friendly waiting room has plenty of toys to entertain, and our technicians are savvy with the scared, the squirmy, and the very sick.
Our radiologists undertake specific training in the diagnosis of children’s illness and have the know-how to obtain the best diagnostic images.
