 When it comes to medical imaging, children require special care. Procedures such as X-rays or CT scans use ionizing radiation to help doctors diagnose diseases and injuries in an accurate and timely manner. But children are more sensitive to radiation than adults. Children are not small adults and we have to consider their difference in anatomy, physiology and metabolism. Doctors must carefully consider if X-ray imaging is the best option or if alternatives without radiation such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging may be used instead. All imaging exams should be performed with the lowest possible radiation dose while maintaining the diagnostic quality of the image. The radiological procedure needs to be tailored to the size and age of a patient in order to minimize exposure. Children also need to feel at ease. Explaining the procedure to them using toys or videos can help keep them still and relaxed to ensure quality imaging. If the radiographer knows these very simple things he or she can get better results in terms of quality and radiation protection. The IAEA helps medical professionals to ensure safe medical imaging of children. It develops standards and guidance to assist doctors in caring for the special needs of children.
