Overview
Pediatric Radiologists are specialists who perform and interpret
medical images of infants and children. In our practice, the latest technology
is utilized to image our patients, including such modalities as general
radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (also known as CT or “CAT” scanning),
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), flouroscopy, and nuclear medicine.
Our pediatric radiologists have received specialized training in the
imaging of children and have developed examination protocols specifically
designed for children, with particular emphasis on limiting the radiation
dose. The radiologists and staff have also created a child- friendly
and compassionate environment where everyone strives to diminish the
stress to both patient and parents.
We work closely with referring pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists
from all over central New Jersey to provide timely, accurate, and cost-effective
diagnosis and treatment.
We see patients at both our outpatient facilities as well as at our
affiliated hospitals.
