Welcome to the Division of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR or MRI) at Children's Hospital Boston. Our entire staff is dedicated to making sure that your experience will be as pleasant as possible.
When you bring your child for an MRI, you will discover what makes us so special:
- Unparalleled expertise
Our radiologists are highly trained experts in performing and interpreting MR in children of all ages, including fetal MR.
If sedation is needed to help your child lie still for an exam, experienced sedation nurses administer it under the supervision of the hospital's pediatric anesthesiologists.
- Dedicated staff
Our technologists and nurses have years of experience in imaging children and teens. They have developed protocols and procedures specifically for pediatric use, which means age-appropriate care for children and the best possible images for the radiologists.
- State-of-the-art technology
We operate five magnets at the main hospital and our satellite clinic in Waltham. These units generate highly detailed pictures of organs, bones and tissues without using ionizing radiation (X-rays).
Your child can listen to music or watch videos during the exam with special goggles and headphones. Bring your own iPod® or DVD!
- Flexible scheduling
Extended hours in Boston and Waltham include evening and weekend appointments for busy families.
To schedule an MRI, please call 617-355-6400 for the main hospital and 781-216-1100 for Waltham.
