Children's of Minnesota offers radiology procedures conveniently located on three campuses, where we do more than 100,000 procedures every year. Our medical equipment is tailored to fit children, and our staff is trained and experienced to care for the special physical and emotional needs of children.

Pediatric procedures we offer include scans, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, MRIs, nuclear medicine, CT’s, sedation and anesthesia services, ultrasounds, x-rays and most recently DEXA scans.

No matter the procedure, our goal at Children's is to provide your child with a child-friendly environment. Our technologists take the time to talk to your child about the procedure and answer questions. Our pediatric radiologists are also available for questions about your child's exam.

Safety is a top priority at Children's, and we have many safeguards in place. For example, we place an identification band on your child, and the technologist performing the exam checks your child’s identification band and asks questions about your child's exam. Further, every effort is made to use the least amount of radiation necessary for an exam.
