Pediatric Radiology

Although children often require the same type of radiology tests as adults, these tests can be very frightening to children because the tests cannot be easily explained to them. The challenge of a good pediatric imaging subspecialist is to provide a quality examination with the least amount of trauma to the child. 

Pediatric imaging subspecialists work hand in hand on a daily basis with pediatricians, surgeons, oncologists, and more. They utilize a variety of procedures, depending on a patient’s needs. Pediatric imaging examinations/procedures include x-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and more.

RCIA specializes in pediatric imaging and works to minimize radiation exposure to children, as they are more susceptible to radiation than adults. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric radiologists work side by side with pediatricians to offer excellent care for your child.

Patients can take comfort in knowing their child will receive top-notch care at Children’s Hospital of San Antonio or the new dedicated pediatric ER located at Westover Hills.
