The Department of Radiology at Children's Hospital Boston is the nation's oldest and largest group of pediatric imaging specialists. Our pediatric radiologists, neuroradiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and interventional radiologists are experts at obtaining the best images for a timely and accurate diagnosis of your child's condition.

We perform about 170,000 imaging studies each year at the hospital and its satellite clinics in Lexington and Waltham, using state-of-the-art equipment specially designed or adapted for pediatric use. This means your child will be exposed to the lowest possible dose of radiation during his or her exam.

In some cases, children are referred to our interventional radiology division to undergo image-guided, minimally invasive procedures for conditions that previously would have required surgery.

Our entire team is dedicated to making your child's experience safe, comfortable and pleasant, continuing a century of innovation, research and excellent care.

Image Campaign Urges Caution
in CT Dosing

Children are more sensitive to radiation than adults. That's why we adjust our imaging equipment to keep doses as low as possible. It's also why two of our staff helped create the national Image Gently campaign to educate other radiologists about the importance of child-size doses in computed tomography (CT).
