■ 3 Tesla (T) and 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners offering both advanced imaging sequences and fast-imaging techniques that reduce the need for sedation in young children ■ Siemens SOMATOM Force computed tomography (CT) scanner delivering exceptionally fast temporal resolution for imaging complex congenital heart disease in very small patients ■ CT scanners that allow organs to be viewed in different planes or as three-dimensional images
■ Fluoroscopy rooms that use advanced low-dose fluoroscopy equipment and can reduce X-ray dosage by as much as 70% ■ Digital radiology units that produce high-quality images quickly and shorten exam times ■ Ultrasound units specifically designed for pediatric imaging ■ On-site interventional radiology suite

The American College of Radiology has accredited Riley Children’s in: ■ CT ■ MRI ■ Nuclear medicine ■ Ultrasound
Provides the highest quality images with the lowest possible dose of radiation. SPECT/CT Allows a cross-sectional rendering of nuclear medicine images. The CT image is fused to the nuclear medicine image for precise localization of areas on the SPECT image, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis. MRI
