Diagnostic Tools

The Pediatric Neurosurgery Program utilizes the latest technology in diagnosing neurological disorders in infants and children.  

Though the links below lead to adult imaging techniques, the pediatric imaging specialists at Cedars-Sinai's S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center are sensitive to providing children with the lowest-dose radiation possible.  The center participates in the Alliance for Radiation Safety's "Image Gently" campaign. 

Diagnostic testing may include:

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Computed tomography scans (CT)
• Transcranial ultrasound
• Intraoperative MRI and surgical navigation
• Stereotactic navigation
