South Shore Hospital

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.

Our team of pediatric gastroenterologists, hepatologists, dietitians, clinicians and nurses is dedicated to helping children with common or complex gastrointestinal, liver and nutritional problems. We help children with symptoms related to chronic abdominal pain, constipation or reflux and more specialty conditions like motility disorders, celiac disease or Crohn's disease. Whether you're just learning about your child's diagnosis, coming to Boston Children's Hospital for a second opinion or searching for an answer to a recurring symptom, our team of compassionate experts can help.
