Prince George's County

The Prince George’s County Ambulatory Surgery Center is a state-of-the-art surgical facility specifically for children. The center, located on the 3rd floor, was designed with families in mind, providing a comfortable and welcoming environment for you and your child.

Our center is an ideal alternative for healthy children in need of minor surgical procedures that do not require an overnight stay. We encourage parents to discuss the surgery with their child before hand to help alleviate anxiety.

We offer X-ray, ultrasound and MR imaging. Our state-of-the-art-equipment includes:

• 3.0-Tesla MR system with the latest air coil technology capable of producing exceptional images quickly for neurological, body and musculoskeletal exams. Children can watch movies or listen to music in the safari-themed MR unit.
• LOGIQ E10 ultrasound unit with elastography software and radiant flow technology for color Doppler studies
• Two rooms with a versatile FUJI system unit for spine and long extremity imaging with 50% less radiation than grid exams

When sedation is required, experienced Children's National anesthesiologists and nurses ensure the safest care. All studies are overseen and interpreted by board-certified radiologists.
