Yale New Haven Children's Hospital provides a full range of imaging services for infants, children and young adults.
Our specially trained radiology team is available around the clock. They provide a full array of diagnostic tests in a pleasant, age-appropriate environment. Our technologies include CT, MRI, X-ray, fluoroscopy and ultrasound.
