Our specialized team at Johns Hopkins consists of pediatric radiologists, pediatric radiologic technologists, pediatric nurses, pediatric anesthesiologists and a child life specialist. We understand that children are not small adults and need care specifically designed just for them. We partner with your family to ensure your child’s care is delivered in a way that is precise, easy to understand and minimizes fear. We deliver world-class patient care by working closely with your child’s doctors to develop a comprehensive care plan.
Patient Care
Our team is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable and friendly environment for children and their families.
One way we help children prepare for radiology exams is by using a pretend MRI scanner to practice for the real exam. This looks and feels just like a real MRI machine and allows our child life specialist to help kids prepare for the exam. When it is time for the real exam, the experience feels familiar and less overwhelming.
Our team has developed pediatric-specific low-radiation techniques for children in computed tomography (CT), X-ray and fluoroscopy. Whenever possible, we use non-radiation imaging modalities like ultrasound and MRI.
