Comprehensive Pediatric Diagnostic Imaging Services

The pediatric diagnostic imaging in Israel includes routine and advanced procedures:

  • EOS diagnostic imaging system (low-radiation orthopedic imaging)

  • X-ray imaging with age-adapted radiation doses

  • Ultrasound imaging for internal organs, soft tissue, and prenatal diagnostics

  • CT scans with high-speed 64-slice systems

  • MRI with or without anesthesia, including fetal MRI

Thanks to cutting-edge technologies and highly trained staff, the hospital offers advanced pediatric radiology while minimizing radiation exposure according to each child’s age and medical condition.

Fetal MRI and Prenatal Imaging

The department also offers radiology for children in Israel from the earliest stages of life. Fetal MRI and prenatal diagnostic imaging are performed in collaboration with specialists in radiology, genetics, gynecology, neurosurgery, and pediatric surgery. This allows accurate detection of developmental abnormalities before birth.

The Sourasky Medical Center is among the few global institutions offering such advanced children’s diagnostic services.

Pediatric Radiology with No Wait

For international patients seeking pediatric diagnostic imaging without waiting, Ichilov offers fast-track scheduling. Many imaging procedures, including MRI under sedation, are available on a pediatric radiology no wait basis.

Remote consultations and test reviews are possible thanks to the hospital’s PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), which allows secure access to all images from any location.

Safe and Child-Friendly Imaging Environment

Special care is taken to reduce stress and discomfort. If needed, sedation or general anesthesia is administered by experienced pediatric anesthesiologists using non-invasive masks. This is especially important for younger children undergoing radiology services for children that require stillness or cause anxiety.
