Neuroradiology
Stanford Children's Hospital has established a highly specialized pediatric neuroradiology service, exclusively dedicated to the intricate neuroimaging of fetuses, newborns, and children. This focused division provides comprehensive imaging for the full spectrum of neurological conditions affecting the brain, spine, face, skull base, neck, and temporal bone.
The neuroradiology service is distinguished by its team of four full-time, world-renowned faculty members whose practice is entirely devoted to pediatric neuroradiology. This concentration of expertise ensures the highest level of diagnostic precision for the hospital's youngest patients.
Utilizing state-of-the-art MRI and CT technology, the neuroradiology team performs a significant volume of neuroimaging studies. While specific statistics on imaging volumes are not publicly released, neuroimaging represents a substantial component of the advanced imaging services offered at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, reflecting the complexity of care provided. The team's deep experience is foundational to the diagnosis and treatment planning for a wide range of neurological disorders, from congenital anomalies to acquired injuries and diseases.
