Pediatric Imaging
RAF is a leader in both inpatient and outpatient pediatric imaging. All of our pediatric radiologists have dedicated training in the care and imaging of children.
While our facilities have all the advanced technology necessary to provide diagnostic images for children, we also recognize that they are more sensitive than adults to the effects of radiation. RAF strongly supports the Image Gently® campaign of the Alliance for Radiation in Pediatric Imaging. The goal of this initiative is to reduce radiation doses in the imaging of children.
At RAF, we work to advance this goal by utilizing ultrasound and MRI instead of CT whenever possible, as well as implementing protocols that minimize radiation exposure. We are also actively involved in mentoring and instructing both pediatric and pediatric radiology residents.
