Pediatric Neuro-Oncologic Radiology

Pediatric neuro-oncologic radiology focuses on using imaging technologies, such as MRI and CT scans, to diagnose and monitor brain tumors in children. These specialists analyze images to detect tumors, assess their size and location, and evaluate treatment responses. Given that children's brains are still developing, understanding the unique characteristics of pediatric tumors is crucial. This field combines knowledge of both child development and advanced imaging techniques to provide accurate, timely information that guides treatment decisions, ultimately aiming to improve outcomes for young patients with brain tumors.
