Improving Children’s Lives Through Innovative Imaging
Radiology
The Department of Pediatric Radiology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is one of the nation’s premier imaging programs, with outstanding clinical care that encompasses the entire spectrum of pediatric radiology with subspecialty expertise in abdominal, cardiac, chest, fetal/neonatal, musculoskeletal, neuroimaging, nuclear medicine, and image guided diagnosis and therapy. Our mission is to improve children's lives through innovative imaging. Our culture of transparency, reflection, continuous learning, and shared responsibility to the institutional mission, and our focus on efficiency, quality and safety ensures the best possible care for your child.
Our Values and Vision
Two major philosophical considerations drive our mission. First, we understand that children are not small adults. Their physiology is different, from a 12-week embryo to a full-grown teenager. The diseases they get are different from those in adults. For our technology to meet the needs of pediatric patients, we have a group of experts who modify the hardware, create new software, adjust to motions related to breathing in children who cannot hold their breath, determine diagnostic accuracy in pediatric diseases, and create imaging biomarkers specific for pediatric disease.
Second, imaging in pediatric radiology departments has traditionally been qualitative, with a large emphasis on structural changes in the body, and less emphasis on physiologic changes. However, early disease, diffuse disease, metabolic or molecular manifestations of disease, and determining the functional significance of a structural finding are now at the forefront of imaging. Our clinical program has partnered with a network of collaborators interested in pediatric health to develop and implement novel imaging tools and imaging-based biomarkers specifically for children, which can provide quantitative signatures of pediatric disease.
Meet Our Team
Our radiology team is comprised of subspecialized trained physicians, technologists, and researchers to manage each specific patient need. Our areas of focus include abdominal imaging, cardiac imaging, fetal/neonatal imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, neuroimaging, nuclear medicine, and image-guided diagnosis and therapy.
