100% for Childrens
If you knew one hospital would expose your child to less radiation than another, which would you choose?
Most hospitals and imaging centers are set-up to perform diagnostic radiology using standard adult levels of radiation. At Phoenix Children's we treat only children, so we use the lowest radiation dose possible based on the size of your child. Up to 70% less. That matters even more if your child requires multiple tests.

Image Gently: Patients with tumors, seizures, swallowing disorders or chronic lung diseases like asthma require frequent radiologic testing. We support Image Gently, a pledge to use the lowest effective dose of radiation on children.
