Pediatric X-rays

Meet The Team

When getting an X-ray our specially trained pediatric professionals are part of your child's healthcare team. Meet the team. 

What to Expect

Our x-ray technologists specialize in pediatric radiography. We focus on safe imaging of children during all medical imaging tests.

Distraction toys for your child are available at the hospital to help assist your child during their exam. For younger patients, immobilization devices may be used to take optimal images. Immobilization will not harm your child; it just helps lessen the movement of the patient during the x-ray.

To provide the highest quality diagnostic exams at the lowest health risk, we follow the recommendations of experts to not use lead shields over your child during their X-ray exam. To learn more about why lead shields are not used on our patients click here.

We use the latest technology to minimize your child’s radiation exposure. We also have a team of medical physicists and radiation safety experts that ensure that radiation levels are safe and will not harm patients.

Once the images are taken, you and your child may leave. After the images have been reviewed by the radiologist, the results will be reported directly to your referring physician. It is your referring physician who will discuss the findings and the plan of care with you.
