Joe Buck Imaging Center

The Joe Buck Imaging Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital is dedicated to reducing radiation exposure for pediatric patients who receive imaging services. To accomplish this, we follow national guidelines to keep radiation dose as low as reasonably possible - it's our commitment. At the Joe Buck Imaging Center, you'll find:

• Pediatric radiologists and technologists specially-trained in pediatric imaging so that your child gets the right test as quickly and accurately as possible.
• Child-sized radiation doses. Every imaging test is individualized to deliver the lowest radiation dose possible.
• Flash CT technology, a pediatric CT scan which uses up to 75% less radiation than a standard adult CT.
• A dose reduction team, continually monitoring exposure and looking for ways to preserve the benefits of medical imaging and reduce its risk.
• Collaboration with your child's primary care provider to select the safest, most appropriate imaging test.
