Quote: “Children are not simply small adults. They have different biologies and only a specialist can appreciate the difference. The pathologic processes affecting children are much different than those affecting adults.” Shawn P. Qullin, MD, Pediatric Radiologist, Mecklenburg Radiology Associates
At Mecklenburg Radiology Associates we have radiologists who are fellowship trained in pediatric radiology. We know that children are not just small adults when it comes to health care. The diseases and conditions affecting them are often different from those seen in adults. It’s especially important to understand this difference when a child needs an x-ray or other imaging study.
Our radiologists are experts in the field of medical imaging of children, from infants to adolescents, and are the specialists in selecting the best imaging techniques to diagnose medical and surgical problems in the young. Much of our work is done at
Presbyterian’s Hemby Children’s Hospital.
Children’s studies include
CT scan, barium enemas through fluoroscopy, cystourethrograms , intravenous urograms (IVP – a kidney function test), MRI, ultrasound and upper GI and nuclear medicine. We also work with specialists in childhood diseases and oncology. While it is rare, more than 9,000 children will be diagnosed with cancer this year in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. Though much progress has been made in diagnosis and treatment, cancer is still the leading cause of death under the age of 15. Our imaging program offers a wide range of modalities to diagnose and treat children with cancer.
