Los Angeles General Medical Center also has three 1.5T MRI scanners imaging and four 64 slice CT scanners in addition to a biplane neurovascular suite<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n                          \n                      <\/div>\n\n\n                      \n                          \n                              \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img decoding=\"async\"\n                            src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/neuroradiology-division\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/147\/2024\/03\/LAGeneralMedicalCenter-320x180.jpg\"\n          srcset=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/neuroradiology-division\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/147\/2024\/03\/LAGeneralMedicalCenter-768x432.jpg 768w,https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/neuroradiology-division\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/147\/2024\/03\/LAGeneralMedicalCenter-320x180.jpg 320w\"          sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 23vw, (min-width:768px) 39vw, 83vw\"\n        \n        alt=\"Photo of LA General Medical Center exterior building and signage\"\n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n  \n\n<\/div>\n\n                      \n                  <\/div>\n\n              \n                  <div class=\"card\">\n\n                      <div class=\"title-description\">\n\n                                                          \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA)\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n                          \n                                                            \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>is one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country treating children with rare genetic and congenital diseases, neurologic disorders, and pediatric tumors.
