The device provides maximum functionality of the positions, the position of the table is adjustable from 48 cm from the floor, which increases the patient's comfort during research.
Where can I get an X-ray for my child?
Standard radiography for small EMC patients is performed at a Children's Clinic.In a very cozy children's environment, with lots of toys, the child is given the full range of X-ray examinations prescribed by the attending physician.
The entire clinic staff has extensive experience working with children and finds an approach to each baby.
High-quality studies with minimal radiation exposure are carried out on a digital X-ray machine. This equipment allows you to get a detailed picture of the smallest structures of the baby's body.
Only pediatric radiologists who have extensive experience working with young patients and who know the age characteristics of the child's body work in the X-ray room of the Children's Clinic.
Radiography is the most accessible, multidisciplinary (applicable in all fields of medicine) diagnostic method.Radiologists apply European diagnostic protocols and work closely with pediatric specialists of all profiles.
In the EMC Children's Clinic in Moscow, young patients can have an X-ray:
- chest organs;
- abdominal organs;
- sinuses and nasopharynx;
