Pediatric Cardiovascular Radiology

Pediatric cardiovascular radiology is a specialized area of pediatric radiology focused on diagnosing and monitoring heart and blood vessel conditions in children. This involves using advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays, echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart), MRI, and CT scans, to visualize and assess the heart's structure and function. Pediatric cardiovascular radiologists work closely with pediatricians and cardiologists to identify congenital heart defects, tumors, or other abnormalities, ensuring that children receive the appropriate care and treatment for their cardiovascular health concerns. Their expertise is vital for improving outcomes in young patients with heart issues.
