Children's Hospital Boston is home to the oldest and largest pediatric radiology department in the world. Our team of highly trained radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, technologists and nurses are all focused on one goal: obtaining the best possible images to diagnose your child's condition. We do that by knowing how to work with children and their families, by using equipment specifically designed or adapted for pediatric use and by limiting radiation exposure to doses that are as low as reasonably achievable.
We have more than 30 pediatric radiologists, neuroradiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and interventional radiologists on staff -- making us the largest group of pediatric imaging specialists in the country. Each year we perform more than 150,000 imaging procedures on infants, children and adolescents.
Patients from around the world come to Children's for timely diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases and injuries. Our radiologists collaborate with leading pediatric surgeons and medical specialists throughout the hospital, as well as experts affiliated with the nearby Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital.
