We see what the radiologist sees

When your child needs an X-ray, getting fast results from a trusted provider matters. With not one but two imaging centers across the street, Valle Verde Pediatrics makes it easy to get timely imaging without the need to travel elsewhere. Thanks to our portal technology, we can see the X-ray results as soon as the radiologist does.

Long bone & extremity X-rays

Quickly rule out fractures after minor injuries, reducing unnecessary ER visits

Scoliosis screenings

Scoliosis screenings use X-rays to detect abnormal spinal curvature

Chest X-rays

Confirm or rule out pneumonia and other lower respiratory conditions

Digital images that are accessible and shareable

Whether it’s ruling out a long bone fracture or completing a routine scoliosis screening, pediatric X-rays are a valuable tool we use to provide timely and accurate treatment. After evaluation, your child’s results can be securely shared through the patient portal or sent directly to referring providers via email, ensuring continuity of care.

X-ray imaging not only provides peace of mind but also allows us to guide your child’s treatment faster and more effectively — avoiding delays in care that could impact their healing.

Get an in-depth look at injuries and illnesses

If your child has pain, swelling, bruising, or cannot bear weight on one of their limbs, it may be hard to tell by sight alone if they have a broken bone. Long bone and extremity X-rays enable us to quickly confirm or rule out any fractures, misalignments, or other issues and recommend more advanced imaging like MRI or CT scans when needed.

Coughing and breathing difficulties are also quite common in children. Chest X-rays are often used to diagnose lower respiratory conditions like pneumonia or asthma, leading to faster treatments and fewer complications.

Skip the extra stop

There’s no need to travel to an ER or urgent care facility that’s miles away. Instead, you can go across the street for safe, high-quality X-rays from your choice of two imaging centers we know and trust. Getting X-rays as quickly as possible reduces anxiety for children and parents alike.

Scoliosis screenings for early detection and intervention

If your child has scoliosis, their spine curves abnormally to the side, usually in an “S” or “C” shape. Without proper care, the curves can cause pain, breathing difficulties, and affect your child’s mobility in the future.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends scoliosis screening for girls between the ages of 10-12 and boys between the ages of 13-14. These screenings are typically performed during annual well visits to detect any abnormal spinal curvature.

Pediatric X-rays allow us to confirm suspected cases of scoliosis and refer your child for timely treatment if needed.
