The marvel of continuing advancements in imaging equipment and techniques translates into procedures that become faster, more detailed and more precise. At Children's Hospital Boston, we continually update our equipment so that our pediatric patients have access to the most modern imaging facilities. These include:
|
|
|
- State-of-the-art radiographic X-ray and fluoroscopic units.
- Computed Tomography - 4 CT scanners, including two single detector scanners, a 16-slice multi-detector scanner and a 64 slice multidetector scanner.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging-5 MRI units including 4 whole body 1.5 Tesla GE Units, one of which is devoted completely to cardiology cases and 1 Tesla Omni extremity magnet. In addition, a Mobile 1.5 Tesla Symphony MRI unit in the operating room enables doctors is available for intraoperative imaging.
- Gamma cameras - 5 gamma cameras for high quality SPECT and planar nuclear medicine imaging.
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) - 1 GE Advance Nxi scanner.
- Angiography - 1 single plane Siemens flat panel angiography system with ultrasound and 1 biplane Siemens flat panel angiography system with ultrasound.
- Ultrasound-8 state-of-the-art ultrasound units (Siemens and Philips).

Our Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and Voice Recognition (VR) applications enable us to provide results to referring physicians immediately via the hospital's Web-based Results Reporting application. Faster results means that patients have shorter waits for diagnosis and treatment.
