Pediatric Radiology
UAMS Radiology residents spend 6-8 months of their 4-year residency on Pediatric Radiology rotations at Arkansas Children's Hospital. All upper level (2nd, 3rd, and 4th year) residents also provide on-call coverage at Arkansas Children's Hospital, providing continuing experience with Pediatric Radiology throughout the residency. Arkansas Children’s Hospital is a 237-bed free-standing children’s hospital located approximately 2 miles from the UAMS and VA hospitals. The ACH Radiology Department is staffed by 11 pediatric radiologists who are all UAMS faculty members. They provide consultation, diagnostic, and interventional radiology services in all aspects of Pediatric Radiology. Each staff member has subspecialty interests and expertise. These include: interventional radiology, cardiac MRI/CT, bone densitometry, and neuroradiology, as well as the more traditional areas of pediatric radiology (GI, GU, US, CT, MR, NM and plain films). Several of the faculty have served in leadership positions on the national level. The ACH Radiology Department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a dedicated interventional suite, 2 multidetector CT scanners, and 2 MR scanners, with more planned in the near future. The department has recently become “filmless” after installation of a state-of-the-art PACS system throughout the hospital and clinics. During rotations at ACH, residents experience one-on-one teaching and progressive development of technical skills in a friendly, low-key, nurturing atmosphere.
