Call (405) 271-5533To deliver the most accurate diagnosis possible for a health concern or condition, your child’s doctors may need to perform special tests, scans, exams or procedures using advanced imaging technology and radiology services to help them view internal organs and body structures.
When your child needs an imaging study or procedure, you and your doctor want to feel confident you’re choosing the right test at the right time at the right place. That means you want to work with pediatric radiology professionals in Oklahoma Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City, where you gain access to a wide range of imaging services for newborns, infants, children, teenagers, young adults and pregnant women.
You and your child benefit from collaborating with Oklahoma Children's Hospital’s highly skilled team of imaging and radiology specialists who perform more than 100,000 imaging studies every year and hold extensive experience in helping and caring for children.
Because children’s smaller, rapidly growing bodies respond more sensitively to radiation from an X-ray or CT scan, your pediatric imaging professionals adjust the dose to match your child’s size and age, which minimizes radiation exposure while producing the high-resolution images needed for accurate diagnosis.
At Oklahoma Children's Hospital, your child’s radiology specialists recognize the challenge of performing imaging procedures for youngsters. Children, especially the very young, have a hard time holding still for an X-ray or may be frightened by the size or noise of an MRI or CT scanner.
In addition to the child-friendly equipment and atmosphere, you’ll appreciate our dedicated Child Life specialists who know how to use age-appropriate distraction techniques that help reduce your child’s anxiety and make the process as enjoyable as possible. You’ll find everything designed for improving your child’s imaging experience.
