Children's state-of-the-art multislice CT scanner offers the most advanced imaging capabilities available anywhere at speeds never seen before.
A full chest and abdomen scan can be done in 5 to 20 seconds. "Patient set-up can take longer than the actual scan," says James Grosskopf, Diagnostic Imaging's administrative director.
Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology
Trained clinicians and support staff from the Diagnostic Imaging Department at Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland use the latest techniques and equipment to see what’s going on inside your child. Your physician may order an x-ray or CT scan, an MRI or an ultrasound. No matter which method is used, Diagnostic Imaging staff use the safest, least invasive means to help physicians take care of your child from birth to age 18.

• For Emergency Department patients, Diagnostic Imaging services, including CT scan and ultrasound techniques, are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• For non-emergency patients, CT scan, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, MRI and fluoroscopy services are available Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
