Pediatric Health Care Association

The Pediatric Radiology Department at Boston Children's Hospital combines individualized care, specialty expertise, and the most advanced technology to obtain the highest quality ultrasounds for children with images that provide the most accurate diagnoses for patients ranging in age from fetal life through young adulthood. Pediatric Ultrasound, which is also known as sonography, is a painless, non-invasive imaging technique that lets us look inside your child's body without the use of radiation. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of organs, muscles, soft tissues and blood vessels.
