At Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, we know children aren’t just small adults. Injuries and diseases do not affect a child’s growing body the same as an adult. State-of-the-art equipment and precise imaging protocols, specially configured for children, are needed to accurately diagnose medical problems and minimize radiation exposure.
Children’s is a national leader in pediatric radiology, performing more than 200,000 procedures a year. We offer a complete range of services for the evaluation of pediatric disease including ultrasound, fluoroscopy, X-ray, MRI, CT, nuclear medicine, bone densitometry and interventional radiology.
The Children’s radiologists are board certified with additional training in pediatric imaging and are always available to consult with your child’s doctor. Our technologists, nurses, and child life specialists interact with children every day and understand their special needs and how to help them when they are scared. Our child-friendly facilities are less intimidating and ideal for imaging children and teens.

The “Putting Patients First” grant was awarded to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in 2009 based on dedication to reducing CT radiation dose in children and providing parents with the most up-to-date information on CT radiation.
