Welcome to
the New
Pediatric Imaging Website This
site is devoted to Parents of Children cared for at Children's
Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston and the Residents of Emory
University Department of Radiology
With the addition of the 64 slice CT
scanner, as well as an 8 slice portable CT scanner, rapid,
high quality scans are available to our clinical staff.
The use of reduced technical settings further adds to lower
dose imaging of the head in urgent and emergent situations.
Chest x-rays are sometimes very confusing and the
possibility of a processing requiring surgery may appear to
be similar to an infection or fluid collection which can be
treated medically. The newborn presents an additional
problem and sometimes the use of portable CT may determine
proper treatment when transfer to the main department is not
feasible.
