We know that your child might be frightened or anxious about having a diagnostic imaging examination and might want a parent or carer with them. Our staff are specifically trained to meet the needs of children and work closely with their families in every aspect of their child’s care.
We understand too, the emotional needs of parents and carers. The speed of results is important, so to facilitate treatment MIA offers referring doctors access to all images and reports online almost immediately, and through our vast network of clinics second opinions can be easily sought.
Our specialist paediatric radiologists Drs Michael Ditchfield, Lee Coleman, Murray Bartlett and Padma Rao all hold respected appointments at the Royal Children’s Hospital and between them they have over 30 years experience in paediatric diagnostic imaging.
Paediatric Diagnostic Imaging services offered at MIA includes:
- 1.5T & 3T MR scanners
- CT scanners that provide 3D images and allow data to be viewed in different planes
- Fluoroscopy rooms including latest low dose technology
- General X-ray
- Nuclear Medicine
- Ultrasound with protocols specifically designed for young patients
Paediatric radiologists are on site and available for specialist consultation with referring doctors.
