Little Is Big To Us
Wake Radiology Medical imaging for children from newborn to age 18. When it comes to imaging your children, being small is a really big deal at Wake Radiology. Our physicians are fellowship trained and bring true subspecialty expertise to the Triangle. All pediatric radiologists, technologists and staff are skilled in handling the specific needs of children which allows us to get high-quality studies done quickly, reducing the amount of stress on both parent and child. Our child-friendly, dedicated outpatient pediatric imaging center in West Raleigh is the first of its kind in Wake County and was designed to meet the needs of children from newborn to age 18. This center offers everything from ultrasound to nuclear medicine and serves as the hub for all pediatric imaging we provide at our other Triangle locations. It’s also one of only a handful of its kind in the nation. Wake Radiology understands that children are not little adults. We are committed to low-dose imaging to clarify clinical questions with the least amount of exposure possible since children are more sensitive than their parents. From a common chest X-ray to complex studies, our mission is to provide each child with the level of care we would want for our own family.
