Experience, expertise and technology

Interventional radiologists at Texas Children’s Hospital combine state-of-the-art pediatric imaging with advanced techniques for minimally invasive procedures. Using X-ray, CT scan or ultrasound guidance in combination with specially designed pediatric tools, we have the experience and equipment necessary to meet the unique needs of children. We’ve cared for premature babies weighing less than 1 pound, pregnant women and every age in between.

Minimally invasive procedures, which often only require a few incisions the width of your finger, typically offer several benefits: quicker healing time, less pain and fewer complications. These procedures are used to collect essential information for diagnosing diseases, implant medical devices and treat serious conditions.
