Why Get a Pediatric Radiology Second Opinion

Infants, children, and adolescents have a unique and intricate developing anatomy that differs greatly from that of an adult. Pediatric radiologists undergo extensive subspecialty training that is crucial for accurate image interpretation. However, only 3% of radiologists specialize in pediatric imaging. As a result, non-specialists are often reading pediatric radiology scans. DocPanel provides access to pediatric radiologists who can help ensure the best care for our young patients.
