Diagnostic Tests

This week's grand rounds will feature:

Answering questions, soothing anxiety

Your child has been scheduled for a lab test.  When you come for the test, please bring your doctor's orders with you, or ask your doctor to fax the order directly to the lab. This will help prevent delays or missed orders.

We know you may want to dig for more information, so we gathered these easy-to-digest materials and resources from pediatric organizations in Minnesota and beyond.

It is important to be honest with your child, describing exactly what will be happening.

Children's Minnesota is proud to employ several board-certified pathologists. Like detectives, these physician specialists track down the causes of kids’ diseases so they can be treated effectively.

Choosing where to bring your child for care is a major decision. We understand you want all the information you can get. And you want it in a clear, straightforward form that helps you make the right choice for your family.

The experts at Children's diagnose just about every medical problem imaginable affecting babies, children and teens. With over 1 million tests conducted each year, there’s virtually nothing we haven’t seen.

At Children’s Minnesota, we know that even the tiniest pokes can be overwhelming for kids. That’s why we’ve designed every aspect of our lab and pathology services with young patients in mind.
