"Imaging Gently"-Radiation and CT Scans

Doctors Cathy Mazzola and Lauren Schwartz are very concerned about the amount of radiation children are exposed to when CT scans are done. The newest guidelines and recommendations from the Section on Pediatric Neurological Surgery and American College of Radiology recommend "imaging gently" and conservatively. Dr. Mazzola and Dr. Schwartz use MRI and ultrasound whenever possible, for neuro-imaging. There are times, however, when a CT scan is indicated. For more information, please see: The Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging

Hydrocephalus



There are many babies born each year with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a condition where the brain does not circulate or absorb the fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) that is being made (normally) in the ventricles (spaces) within the brain. There are many ways to succesfully treat hydrocephalus. Please check out the website at http://www.njpediatricneurosurgery.com/ for more info.
