Pediatric Radiology Resources for Professionals
Our relationships with our professional colleagues are critical to the care we provide to the children and families we treat. To improve your experience and promote collaboration and professional education as we work together to provide the best diagnostic and interventional radiology services to our patients, we’ve collected a variety of resources and educational materials.
Whether you're referring a patient to us for the first time, seeking a second opinion or updated information about your patient's care, or looking for continuing education opportunities, we hope these resources will help in your search for more information.
If you have any questions about these resources, training opportunities, or ways we can help your patients, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone.
Submitting patient imaging records and second read requests online
CHOP now offers patients and healthcare providers a safe and secure way to send medical imaging records to our radiologists electronically using lifeIMAGE.
Both patients and healthcare providers may submit images for comparison. These studies will be used by the CHOP radiologist for comparison to future studies being performed at CHOP.
Healthcare providers may also submit images for a second opinion/second read request using the lifeIMAGE system. These images require a physician order before being re-read by a CHOP radiologist.
