Imaging of women and children

Imaging center for women and children

The concern for uniqueness has motivated the development of the Mother-Child Imaging Center. This center offers the skills of several specialist radiologists, who can act as experts:

• in gynecological imaging from adolescence through to post-menopause: for expertise on cysts, bleeding, menstrual disorders, endometriosis, fertility exploration, menopausal follow-up, whether in ultrasoundhysterography and/or MRI ;
• on the senological level, both for mammographic screening and assessment of breast masses and pain, whether by mammography, tomosynthesis or breast MRI;
• obstetrics: pregnancy follow-up, referral advice, with all radiologists practicing in this field, being an integral part of Parisian hospital-based prenatal diagnosis centers (Necker - Port Royal - Robert Debré) and/or affiliated to an obstetric imaging network
• in paediatrics: both for the monitoring of newborns, concerning pediatric radiographs lung, pelvis, abdomen without preparation, the echograms hip, medullary, renal and trans-frontanellar ultrasound.

Each patient will have the possibility of having all her examinations grouped together in a single computer file, even if they are carried out in different geographical locations of our center, archived over several decades.

A qualified team for pediatric radiology

Our pediatric radiology is designed with children in mind, whether it's our child-specific technology pediatrics or our child-friendly technical platform. Our state-of-the-art equipment enhances image quality while using the latest low-dose radiation technology. Our radiologists are specially trained in pediatrics, providing expert interpretation and diagnosis.

Pediatric imaging: state-of-the-art technology for a reliable examination

In addition, we are equipped to add the BLADE sequence to our MRI protocols. This new MR acceleration and motion correction technique enables us to perform free-breathing abdominal MRI in children, reduce motion artifacts in MR scans, and reduce MR scan times and sedation requirements. 

The women's imaging center

Our women's imaging center provides personalized follow-up and diagnosis for each of our patients. This is achieved through a wide range of examinations, some of which are listed below.

Obstetrical ultrasound

L'obstetrical ultrasound uses sound waves to produce baby pictures (embryo or fetus) within the pregnant woman, as well as the mother's uterus and ovaries. It does not use ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects and is the preferred method for monitoring pregnant women and their unborn baby.

L'obstetrical ultrasound is a useful clinical examination for :

• establish the presence of a living embryo/foetus
• estimate age of pregnancy
• diagnose congenital anomalies of the fetus
• assess fetal position
• assess the position of the placenta
• identify multiple pregnancies
• determine the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby
• check opening or shortening of the cervix
• assess fetal growth
• assess fetal well-being
