    The Washington University Advantage

    Our pediatric radiologists have available some of the most equipment developed, with new prototypes developed continuously:

    - High-speed, most advanced CT is utilized to reduce radiation dosages and scan time, further reducing the need for sedation.

    - X-rays and flouroscopic equipment to improve image quality and reduce radiation dosages

    - Ultrasound equipment with conventional and power doppler capabilities

    - MRI is equipped with a special multimedia system to allow patients to watch video tapes or listen to music while the scanning is taking place, which reduces the need for sedation and reduces patient motion, thus improving image quality.
