The Center for Pediatric Imaging
 Technology
 The Center for Pediatric Imaging has invested in the latest,
most advanced imaging technology. In fact, we are the only
facility in the state to provide imaging services for newborns,
and we now have the capability to offer prenatal MRIs to
pregnant women.
Equipped with state-of-the-art imaging
technologies, the Center for Pediatric Imaging offers ultrasound,
fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). Each imaging service is offered in
a separate, private room.
 The center has three ultrasound
rooms, two fluoroscopy and general radiography rooms,
one room for MRI, and one room for CT.
Our MRI scanner is a short bore scanner,
which means the scanner’s “tunnel” is
shorter and wider than traditional scanners,
preventing patients from feeling confined.
To further ease anxiety, children
may have a family member with them during their MRI exam.
Our imaging modalities are connected to the hospital’s Picture Archival Communications System (PACS), which
stores and communicates digital radiology images to any
computer in the hospital or physicians’ offices. PACS not
only decreases the time patients
and their parents wait for test
results, it expedites the
implementation of
treatment plans or the
scheduling of surgery,
depending on
the diagnosis.
Our radiologists use LifeLinks, a secure web browser that
allows our pediatric physicians to access patient orders and
results, medication lists, patient histories and allergies,
diagnostic reports and diagnostic images from any desktop
or laptop computer logged into the system.
