We provide an imaging service for children at St Mary’s Hospital. The service provides a full range of paediatric imaging to help clinicians to diagnose conditions and plan the management of treatment in children. We also offer a limited inpatient service for children at Hammersmith Hospital.

We have three paediatric radiologists who oversee the imaging of children. They are all specially trained and will help to make your child feel comfortable and relaxed during any tests or scans. We have particular expertise in the imaging of children with infectious diseases and bone marrow transplants.

We offer a variety of scans and tests, including:

  • x-ray
  • paediatric CT
  • ultrasound
  • magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • nuclear medicine
  • positron emission tomography (PET)
